Federal regulations require laboratories to re-examine negative cervical smears from the 5 yr preceding a diagnosis of high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (HSIL) or carcinoma. To assess the value of this regulation as a quality assurance measure, we evaluated the previous cervical smears f m

## Abstract The relation between the detection of clue cells in cervical smears of women with CIN and the expression of COXβ2 in these lesions were determined. Samples from 228 women, treated due to CIN and who underwent cervical conization, were obtained. Hybrid Capture II and Pap smear samples we
BACKGROUND. Some cervical/vaginal Papanicolaou (Pap) smears previously diagnosed as normal in women with a high grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (HSIL) are found to contain abnormal cells on retrospective review. This study characterized and quantitated such cells in 100 Pap smears. ## METHODS
In the fight against cervical malignancy and its precursors, several adjuvant diagnostic methods have been proposed to increase the accuracy of cytologic and histologic diagnoses. Because chromosomal aneuploidy has been accepted as an early key event in tumorigenesis caused by genetic instability, t
