Smear on oncocytology of the cervix
A smear for oncocytology of the cervix ismandatory annual preventive measure for all women over eighteen years of age. This laboratory test is also conducted when any pathological process is identified in this area.
A smear on oncocytology makes it possible to determine the early stages of the disease.
This research method is considered the mosta safe method of diagnosis. The scraping is carried out without any damage to the cervix. Thus, various negative consequences after the procedure are excluded. The smear on oncocytology is sent to the laboratory, the woman after his capture can return to his usual life.
As noted, this study is being conductednot only for preventive purposes. In many cases, for example, after conization (removal of the cone-shaped area), a smear for oncocytology is mandatory.
If there is insufficient information in this study, additional diagnostic measures may be prescribed. In particular, they include laparoscopy.
It should be noted that, despite the undeniablethe value of additional diagnostic measures, oncocytology of the smear is today considered to be an indispensable method that allows obtaining reliable information about the absence or presence of a pathological process during mass examinations.
Throughout the gestation period, womendesignate this study at least three times. Soskob oncocytology for the first time is taken during the initial treatment, the second - after thirty weeks, the third after reaching the term of thirty-six to thirty-seven weeks. The study of the cervical smear allows you to evaluate the composition of microflora. To exclude the development of pathological processes, the epithelial cells contained in the scrapium are examined.
The cervical Pap smear is used to detect precancerous changes in its epithelium (cervical intraepithelial neoplasia in varying degrees of severity).
This analysis is mandatory forpatients who have been identified (before or immediately before the analysis) human papillomavirus increased carcinogenic risk. In addition, the oncocytological examination is performed in women with altered epithelial zones when colposcopy was detected.
The material is collected usingspecial cervical brushes. Immediately after this, a smear-imprint is prepared, touching the surface of the glass with all the sections of the cytoscope. The probe is recycled. The smear is dried in air, then placed in a cuvette and fixed with 96% alcohol (ethyl) rectificate for five minutes.
The prepared scrap is placed in an individual package and sent to the laboratory.
To get the most correct resultsBefore the study, a woman is not recommended taking any medications. In addition, during the day after sexual contact, as well as during menstruation, you should also not give a smear to oncocytology.
Decoding of results is carried out on five classes.
- The cytological picture is normal.
- Changes in inflammatory epithelium have been detected.
- Suspicion of the presence of malignant neoplasm.
- Individual malignant cells were detected.
- Malignant tumor, cancer cells in large numbers.
In order to prevent the development of cancer, oncocytological examination is recommended to be held at least twice a year.
