“…This is in accordance with results reported by a review of six studies (32-66%). 16 Another study regarding the follow-up of ASCs cytology found that ICC was significantly more associated with ASC-H. 20 In Brazil, when cytology results show ASC-US, the recommended management is to perform a repeat cytology; however, other countries propose to perform HR-HPV testing. 22 In our study, a HR-HPV test was performed as a follow-up procedure that was isolated or associated with another kind of follow-up in 27.39% of cases; positivity for HR-HPV was found in 49.66% of these cases.…”

“…In spite of the Pap smear is administered to asymptomatic patients, rather than diagnostic tests (confirm or refute the expected disease). [23] Cancer of the crevice is the second most common cancer among women worldwide after breast, with 83% of cases occurring in developing countries. HPV infection is detected in 99.7% of the cervical cancer cases.…”

“…These lesions if left long period without treatment, patients contact to high risk to HPV, so these cases must follow up and testing for HPV DNA, colposcopic evaluation and biopsy which prevent cervical cancer. [21][22][23] Latest estimates indicate that every year 311 women are diagnosed with cervical cancer and 212 die from the disease [5].…”

A pap test is a simple technique which can detect pre-cancerous and cancerous cells in the vagina and cervix. Cervical cancer is the easiest gynecologic cancer we could prevent it, with regular screening tests and follow-up this screening may avoid cervical cancer or detact it early.This study aims to estimate cytological changes and precancerus lesions during Pap smear test and visual inspection of the cervix on Iraqi women and determine the relationship with demographic characteristics. The study included 50 women aged 18-56 years (mean 39 ±10) in National Cancer of Research Center (NCRC) belong to Baghdad University. These women suffered from genital problems or for checking reproductive health status during the period from 1 st December 2016 to 31 st April 2018 to perform the grossly inspection of the cervix and take papanacola smear. The results showed that 98% of the women were sexually active, 88% of them in premenapusal period and only (12%) in postmenapusal. Visual inspection of the cervix showed there were (40%) erosion lesions, cytology examination showed (90%) of non specific inflamation, 60% of reactive squamous metaplasia, 26% Koilocytotic atypia, 16% CIN1 or LGSIL. Women how used the contraception 68% and the most of them used pills. The women who had multiple births 26% , 18% had one, and 56 % were nulliparous. The causes of the visit were variable as for rotine checking 48% or to know the reason of abnormal vaginal discharge 22%. 46% of them were doing this test while 54% of them didn't make it previously. Therefore, we recommend by firm awareness and must perform pap smear screening for sexually active women to prevent precancereus lesions in the cervix and then avoid cervical cancer.

“…Although HPV DNA testing has been shown to be a promising tool in primary cervical cancer screening, as it is more sensitive in detecting CIN lesions than cytology, HPV DNA testing is more expensive than cytologic study (Poomtavorn et al, 2011;Pity et al, 2012). That is why cervical smear and colposcopic evaluation are currently more practical in developing countries.…”

Background: A cytologic reading of a Papanicolaou (pap) smear followed, if the result is positive, by a colposcopic search for abnormal cells is the most common screening method for cervical cancer used worldwide. We aimed to present the correlation of smear and colposcopic findings with 6-to 12-month follow-up results and related factors in women who underwent colposcopy in Turkey. Materials and Methods: The study population consisted of women who attended the gynecology department and were referred for colposcopic evaluation in 2011-2012. A total of 232 women between ages 17 and 68 years were included. Colposcopy indications were ASCUS and higher lesions at cervical smear, macroscopic suspicious lesions, post-coital bleeding history with suspicious smear, and repeated cervical inflammation. All patients were recalled for 6-to 12-month follow-ups. Results: The most common colposcopy indication was ASCUS, and the most common biopsy result was inflammation. Nearly half of the patients returned for the control 6-month follow-up, and almost 20% of patients for a 1-year follow up. Conclusions: Colposcopic biopsy is an effective method in indicated patients but is not sufficient in itself if awareness of the subject is not raised in the population. One of the most important aims of cancer screening programs should be enabling patients in developing countries to take responsibility. Patients must be encouraged to apply to the hospital for better disease control.
