## BACKGROUND. Papanicolaou smears have been less effective in preventing cervical adenocarcinoma than in preventing squamous carcinoma. One reason may be a lack of awareness of certain smear patterns of adenocarcinoma in situ (AIS) such as those with crowded small cells (endometrioid pattern).
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
patients treated with radiation therapy. Prognosis was analyzed by CerbB-OPE, growth fraction determined with Ki-67 immunohistochemistry (Ki-GF), and the Division of Radiation Medicine, National Instimitotic index of proliferating cell population (pMI). tute of Radiological Sciences, Chiba, Japan.
