ACOG officially endorses the new management guidelines, which update and replace Practice Bulletin No. 140, Management of Abnormal Cervical Cancer Screening Test Results and Cervical Cancer Precursors. Although many of the management recommendations remain unchanged from the 2012 guidelines, there are several important updates (Box 1).

2024年10月31日 · One of the most common abnormal findings on a Pap smear —a routine screening test for cervical cancer and any abnormal cell changes on the cervix that might lead to cervical cancer—is known as ASCUS. ASCUS is an acronym for atypical squamous cells of undetermined significance.

2023年1月1日 · Cervical cancers are often squamous-cell carcinomas that arise from infection with high-risk Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) serotype-16 and 18. Cervical cancer is a cancer of the female reproductive system that originates in the cervix.

2024年6月6日 · Atypical squamous cells of undetermined significance (ASC-US): This is the most common abnormal Pap test finding. It means that some cells don't look completely normal, but it's not clear if the changes are caused by HPV infection.

Screening for Cervical Cancer With High-Risk Human Papillomavirus Testing: A Systematic Evidence Review for the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force [Internet]. Two primary histologic abnormalities account for the majority of cancer of the uterine cervix—squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) and adenocarcinoma.

2015年11月1日 · Squamous intraepithelial lesions (SIL) and squamous cell carcinomas (SCC) can rarely be detected in endometrial sampling. We reviewed all cases of SIL and SCC detected solely on endometrial biopsies and curettings to determine their significance and whether these findings were detected on prior or concurrent Papanicolaou (Pap) test.

Pap Test: A test in which cells are taken from the cervix (or vagina) to look for signs of cancer. Penis: The male sex organ. Squamous Intraepithelial Lesion (SIL): A term used to describe abnormal cervical cells detected by the Pap test.

2024年12月2日 · Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC): This is the most common cervical cancer type (about 70 out of 100 cases are this type). SCC starts in the squamous cells of the cervix. Glandular cells – Taller, column-shaped cells that cover the endocervix. Adenocarcinoma – This is a less common type (about 25 out of 100 cases are this type) of cervical cancer.

2022年4月28日 · Squamous cells that may be precancerous or more likely to turn into cancer are described on a Pap test result as squamous intraepithelial lesions (SIL). These may be further classified as...

2009年7月15日 · The probability for a Pap test to be abnormal is directly proportional to HPV viral load: results from a Swiss study comparing HPV testing and liquid-based cytology to detect cervical cancer ...
