## Abstract Recent studies have shown that it is possible to correlate workload or epithelial cell abnormality (ECA) adjusted workload with screening sensitivity. The results show that for manual screening of conventional smears or SurePath slides, screening sensitivity begins to fall with workload
## Abstract Rapid prescreening (RPS) is a powerful tool to measure and improve performance in the cytology laboratory. Longβterm use of RPS has been shown to result in improved sensitivity and precision in routine screening. The effect of longβterm RPS on RPS itself is not known. We compared the se
A comprehensive cytologic screening program has been instrumental in the increased case finding and decreased mortality of patients with cervical cancer in a high risk population. In the 7 years of operation, 94,778 smears have been examined and 2327 atypical, 529 suspicious, and 133 positive cytolo
