Abstract
The objective of this study was to address this preventable cancer burden and also to determine a fraction of pap cervical smear finding through LBC. From the period of two years, a retrospective record review was performed for a total of 200 women who were referred from Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology for Pap cervical smear to the Department of Pathology. Most women with aberrant cytology had ASC‐US (50%), LSIL (4%), ASC‐H (26%) and HSIL (14%). The main symptoms of women with abnormal cytology were lower abdominal discomfort (24%) and white vaginum discharge (21%). Cytology category did not correlate with primary complaints. The study used representative data to address disease burden, highlight the need for comprehensive screening programs and HPV testing for universal management and treatment according to national standards. Due to less unacceptable smears, LBC may be better than conventional.
