EFFECTIVENESS OF LIQUID-BASED CYTOLOGY AS CERVICAL CANCER SCREENING

Abstract

The incidence of cervical cancer is gradually shifting to an earlier age range, creating many problems, such as a decrease in life expectancy, working and fertile periods, and an increase of social and economic burden on the healthcare system and the state as a whole. Screening with liquid-based cytology can help to diagnose dysplasia and the initial cancer manifestation in situ. The purpose of this article is to analyze the possible advantages of liquid-based cytology for mass screening.
