Objective To investigate the sensitivity and specificity of the Pap smear for detection of
adenocarcinoma in situ of the cervix (AIS), endocervical adenocarcinoma (ECAC) and …

BACKGROUND Papanicolaou smear sensitivity for cervical adenocarcinoma (CVCA) is not
well established. Also uncertain are the relative contributions to falsely negative diagnoses …

BACKGROUND Little attention has been given to the reasons for failure to detect
adenocarcinoma in situ (AIS) of the uterine cervix in Papanicolaou (Pap) smears. In the …

BACKGROUND The current study examines 1) the sensitivity of detection and 2) sampling
and screening/diagnostic error in the cytologic diagnosis of adenocarcinoma in situ (AIS) of …

We observed that the ratio of in situ to invasive carcinomas of the cervix is significantly
greater for squamous than for glandular lesions. We wondered whether Pap smears were …

We attempted to reassess the significance of cervicovaginal Papanicolaou smear (s) in
identifying adenocarcinoma (AC) by comparing Papanicolaou smears with histopathology in …

Introduction Endometrial lesions are morphologically diverse and uncommon on cervical
smears, with its detection rate and associated diagnostic categories uncharacterized. In this …

Objective: The presence of degenerative endometrial debris and abnormal endometrial cells
is considered to be the hint for endometrial pathology. The purpose of this study was to …

Background: The sensitivity of cervical cytology for detection of glandular lesions is reported
to be low. We conducted this study to assess the diagnostic accuracy of cervical …

Context The Papanicolaou (Pap) test has indisputably decreased cervical cancer mortality,
as rates have declined by up to 80% in the United States since its implementation. However …
