(5) The old term "atypical glandular cells of undetermined significance" was replaced by "atypical endocervical, endometrial or glandular cells." The atypical glandular cells (AG C) category is important because of frequently found high-grade lesions in such cases. Adenocar...

HPV detection is nowadays mainly used in atypical squamous cells of undetermined significance (ASC-US) triage. The next step will be the utilisation of combined HPV testing and cytology to detect cervical cancer and its precursors. After 50 years of cytology as the sole test in cervical cancer ...
Practice changes include: new criteria for using liquid-based collection, a streamlined borderline category of atypical squamous cells (ASC), and a new category of ASC-cannot exclude high-grade lesion (ASC-H). Management includes colposcopy for all categories suspicious for epithelial abnormality and...
Pap staining. The cytology results were reported first using Papanicolaou Classification (Class I–V)16and also reported using Bethesda system classification categories, as follows: NILM, ASC-US, LSIL (low-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion), ASC-H (atypical squamous cells, cannot exclude high-...
However, sensitive monitors of excessive workload are not available.METHODS:We measured the variation in abnormal (atypical squamous cells [ASC], low-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion [LSIL], and high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion [HSIL]) rates for 4 cytotechnologists (CTs) among ...
