Cytohistopathological Correlation of Cervical Lesions
Abstract: Background: Conventional cervical cytology is the most widely used ervical cancer screening test in the world. Squamous intraepithelial neoplasia (SIL) and cervical cancer remain important health problems for women worldwide. Aim and Objective: To study various types of cervical lesions with relevant factors such as age, parity, to classify cervical lesions into malignant & benign groups and to correlate the cytological with histopathological findings. Materials and Methods: This study was conducted on 1065 cases of Pap smears and cervical biopsies, along with resected specimens. After fixation and staining, smears and cervical biopsies were processed and examined under microscope. Results: Maximum number of patients was more than 60 years in age (36.50%)The mean age among cancer cases (51.94±12.30 years) was higher than in cases (39.53±9.66 years) who did not have cervical cancer. Association between age group of cancerous patients and non-cancerous patients were highly significant with pvalue
