Screening for Cervical Cancer by Pap Smear: Our Experience at IGIMS, Patna
Journal Title: Journal of Indira Gandhi Institute of Medical Sciences - Year 2015, Vol 1, Issue 1
Abstract
Abstract : Cervical Cancer has a high incidence amongst Indian women. More than 70% of cancers in females occur at the age of 35-64 year, and these Cancers produce an adverse influence on the productive role of women in our society. Over 70% of female patients in India, report for diagnostic and treatment services at an advanced stage of disease, resulting in poor survival and high mortality rates. Objective : To estimate the sensitivity and specificity of conventional method i.e pap smear as primary screening for cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN). Material and Method: Pap smear was done on 4957 women aged between 15 to 68 years in IGIMS form 2008-2014. Each women had at least four cervical biopsies (at 2, 4, 8, or 10 O’clock at the squamo columnar junction in each normal quadrant), after abnormal cytology report. Result: 190(3.81%) women were reported as ASCUS, 25(0.50%) as AGUS, 25(0.50%) women had biopsyproven as LSIL, 20(0.4%) as HSIL and 35(0.7%) had invasive cancer. Cytological inspection yielded normal results in 975 women (19.6%), inadequate cytology in 595 (11.99%), inflammatory cytology report in 2840(57.48%), atrophy 110(2.2%), metaplasia in 140(2.8%). Conclusion : Conventional cervical cytology is an efficient tool for cervical cancer screening followed by biopsy according to abnormal pap smear finding and treatment (if cervical dysplasia is diagnosed).
