Abstract
Objective: Aim of this study is to compare the conventional Pap smears with manual liquid based cervical cytology in peri menopausal and post menopausal women. Method: A prospective study of 70 women was carried out in SGT University Hospital, Gurugram over the period of 1 year. Patients were randomly selected for pap smears and data collected was analysed. Result: Analysis included patients aged more than 40 years. 70 cases were satisfactory for evaluation using LBC and 65 cases on conventional smear. Cytological abnormality was found in 29 cases on LBC and in 21 cases on conventional smear. Out of 70 cases 10 and 5 cases were diagnosed as ASCUS, 5 and 3 as HSIL, 12 and 8 as SCC on LBC and conventional smear respectively. Conclusion: In conclusion, despite the smaller sample size MLBC method was found to be superior to the conventional smear.
