Abstract :

Background: Worldwide cervical cancer is the fourthmost common cancer in females. It is one of the leading cause of cancer mortality and morbidity in developing countries like India. Pap smear examination is an effective, easy and less invasive screening procedure.

Methods: This retrospective study includes total 2934 smears collected from patients presented to gynaecology OPD.

Results: Out of 2934 smears 5.1% were unsatisfactory for evaluation, 89.22% samples were reported as NILM while ECA was seen in 5.5% cases.In our study ASC/SIL ratio was 2.48.

Conclusion: Pap smear cytology is useful diagnostic tool for detection of premalignant lesions of cervical cancer. Histopathological correlation should be carried out in cases of ECA.
