Our study confirms these findings [posit correlation betwe presce of cells and the detection of squamous-cell atypia] which lack cells offer no opportunity for the detection of or columnar atypias (glandular intraepithelial neoplasia). We found a significantly higher rate of dysplasia in with cells than in those without We do not,

Nor do we feel that those lacking cells should necessarily be reported as unsatisfactory. However, presce or absce of these cells should be routinely reported so that the clinician may weigh clinical facto in deciding appropriate follow-up. Endocervical cells alone were less likely to be found in inadequate than in adequate, but this association was not statistically significant. Our study demonstrates that the subsequt incidce of CIN is not substantially higher in whose are negat but lack an compont than in whose are reported as negat

5 Mitchell Medley, 1992 (17) Mitchell Medley, 1993 (18) Method Aim of Timeline to status, among who have reced negat cytology reports to investigate the assumption underlying the recommdatio n for an early repeat test for that lack an compont Case Case Replicate previous case studies indicating that there is no significant differce in cell status for prediction of CIN Detail the proportion of reported as including an compont 8 yea: yea: database of all whose are reported by the Victorian Cytology Service Wom with a chronologic cytological report of CIN, a cytologic report of no abnormality, and a histologic report of CIN Smea tered into the computerized files of the Victorian Cytology Service Smea reported as including an compont from computerized records Excluded cells.

Thus there appea to be no scitific basis for recommding an immediate or early repreat test for whose cytology report is negat but whose lack an compont. Should negat that lack an compont be repeated early? No. The rationale for an early repeat test would be that a higher rate of abnormality was evidt on the repeat tests, indicating that important abnormalities were being missed on the negat that lacked an compont. The declining ration of reported abnormalities in with an compont indicates a weaking of the relationship betwe status and the probability of an abnormality being reported.

There is a need either to consider alternat methods of assessing r quality or to recognize that false negats can occur despite appartly adequate sampling of the transformation zone. Smea lacking an compont are unreliable.

A higher number of cells were significantly associated with the detection of a higher number of squamous atypical cells it would be possible to consider that 10 or metaplastic cells as defined by Bethesda System may be insufficit to adequate transformation zone compont. A lower risk of CIN II+ in the 4.5 yea following the fit negat Pap r is associated with EC- compared to EC+ status. According to these findings, with a negat Pap test lacking EC should be referred for retesting at normal screing intervals indepdt of age. *NS: Not significant CIS : Carcinoma in situ CIN: Cervical intraepithelial neoplasia cells.
