To evaluate the outcome and adherence of 535 patients with cytological changes. MATERIALS ANDMETHODS:
Study of 7519 smear tests harvested in 2007.RESULTS:
Of the 7,519 (100%) patients analyzed, 6,964 (92.6%) had cytology negative for intraepithelial lesion or malignancy, 535 (7.1%) abnormalities in epithelial cells, and 20 (0.3%) were unsatisfactory. Of these 535 (100%) patients, 511 (95.5%) were referred to the outpatient clinic and colposcopic exam submitted and 24 (4.5%) did not return to the clinic. The group participated in the ambulatory visits, 302 (59.1%) underwent colposcopy-guided biopsy, and the remaining 209 (40.9%) examinations were negative.CONCLUSION:
The cytological examination remains the method of choice for cervical cancer screening. It includes low costs, is effective, and well-accepted. Early diagnosis minimises the cost of research. Universities have an important role in the training of health professionals and also in the development of research.
