| dc.description.abstract | Aim: The aim of this study was detection of the abnormal cervical cytology rates of the women according to cervical screening at Eastern Black Sea region and to determine the correlation of the abnormal cervical cytologic findings with colposcopy directed biopsies. Materials and methods: Cervical cytology of the women with Pap smear method were retrospectively evaluated between the years 2006-2012 at University Hospital. Colposcopy directed biopsies of the women with abnormal cervical cytology that was detected with conventional smear methods were evaluated. Cervical cytology results according to Bethesda system as ASC-US, ASC-H, LSIL, HSIL, AGC were included in the study. Results: Abnormal cervical cytology was detected at 354(2.81%>) of 12558 women. The rates of abnormal cervical cytology were detected as ASC-US 199 (56.1%), ASC-H 9 (2.5%), LSIL 62 (17.5%), HSIL 28 (7.9%), AGC 54 (15.3%). Colposcopy and directed biopsy was performed at 123 cases. Biopsy results were reported as: chronic cervicitis 57 (46.3%), CINl 23 (18%, 7), CIN2 11 (% 9), CIN3 25 (20.3%). Correlation of cervical cytology and colposcopy directed biopsy results were statistically significant (Kappa:0.541 and p <0.001). Conclusion: Cervical cancer can early diagnose with cervical cytology and even preventable disease. Despite cervical cytology is an effective, easy and accessible screening method, histopathologic correlation is became important for evaluation and management of abnormal cervical cytology. Colposcopy directed biopsy and histopathological assessment is seen as an appropriate method for the management of abnormal cervical cytology. © 2014, Gunes Kitap Kirtasiye, All rights reserved. | en_US |
