This article reports that DNA testing for human papillomavirus (HPV), especially if the sample can be obtained at the same time as the Pap smear, can guide the management of women whose test result shows atypical squamous cells of undetermined significance. Those who test positive for high-risk...
A pap smear that has atypical squamous cells of undetermined significance (ASCUS) and human papillovirus (HPV) listed on it generally means that the patient has ASCUS on her cervix; however, HPV is suspected as the cause for the atypical cell appearance. Whenever HPV is present, ASCUS is a...

A quantum hybrid intelligent approach that combines the quantum-behaved particle swarm optimization method with the intuitionistic rationality of traditional fuzzy k-nearest neighbors (fuzzy k-NN) algorithm has been proposed for efficient feature selection and classification of cervical smeared cells [18]....
ASCUS and LSIL Pap smear results: triage considerations - atypical squamous cells of undetermined sitext editorEmerging Infectious Diseases
HPV testing for carcinogenic viruses alone or in combination with a repeat Pap smear (using ASCUS as a positive threshold) yielded results of 50%, 67%, 9%, and 96%, respectively, and 70%, 37%, 7%, and 95%, respectively, for detecting CIN 2/3. In women with an initial LSIL Pap ...

Using LBC there were fewer results of ASCUS which is the most common cytological abnormality in screening populations that imposes heavy burden for follow-up. Concordance in HSIL cases with histological study was 100%, but in general the accuracy measured by the kappa statistic is low.Conclusions:...
