Abstract :

Cervical cancer is one of the leading cancers amongst women. The pap smear can detect cervical cancer at an early and easily curable stage by studying the cells naturally exfoliating from the cervix. . Materials and methods: The study was carried out at a tertiary care institute during the period from October 2014 to October 2016. The smears were stained using Papanicolaou stain and reported according to the Bethesda system 2014. Results: A total of 392 pap smears were studied out which 20 were unsatisfactory.75.27% cases were reported as NILM. 24.73% cases were reported as epithelial cell abnormality, of which 7.61% were ASC–US, 5.43% cases were ASC–H , 30.43% cases were LSIL, 29.35% cases were HSIL, 26.09% cases were SCC and 1.09% case was Adenocarcinoma. Conclusion: Premalignant and malignant lesions of cervix are not uncommon in our set up, thus emphasizing the need and importance of cervical cancer screening in this region
