Description
Abstract
Aim: The objective of this study was to address this preventable cancer burden and also to
determine a fraction of pap cervical smear finding through LBC
Methods: From the period of one year from 1 May 2022 to 30 April 2023, a retrospective
record review was performed for a total of 100 women who were referred from Department
of Obstetrics and Gynaecology at Bhagwan Mahavir Institute of Medical Sciences, Pawapuri,
Nalanda, Bihar, India for Pap cervical smear to the Department of Pathology.
Results: It was observed that among women with abnormal cytology, majority of the
cytology presented as ASC-US with 50% (50/100), LSIL 5% (5/100), ASC-H 25% (25/100),
15% (15/100) were High grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (HSIL), while 4% (4/100)
were Squamous cell carcinoma and adenocarcinoma stood at 1% (1/100).
Conclusion: The result from this retrospective analysis was to address the disease burden
through representative data, highlight the need of effective screening programme and
availability of HPV testing for uniformity of management and treatment according to the
national recommendations. LBC can be a better alternative to conventional smear because of
lower rate of unsatisfactory smears.
