摘要: The accessibility of the cervix to direct examination and relatively slow progression cervical cancer from recognized treatable precursor lesions make neoplasia an ideal target for screening prevention efforts. success has been demonstrated most directly convincingly in Scandinavia. Countries with formal programs wide population coverage experienced substantial drops incidence mortality while neighboring countries limited did not. Papanicolaou test is currently widely utilized technique U.S. as well internationally. Named George Papanicolaou, one originators cytologic diagnosis, involves gently scraping cells surface evaluating fixed stained sample microscopically detect abnormal morphologic cell changes. Although there are new technologies available others development that may dramatically alter future, still standard care serves a paradigm discuss components process.
