Summary:Introduction: To evaluate and compare the efficiencies of cytologic test methods conventional Pap smear (CVS) versus Thin Prep liquid-based cytology technique (TPT) in the histologic diagnosis of the precancerous lesions of the cervix and cervical cancer. Material and Methods: We selected randomly 1203 non-gravid women who were admitted to gynecology and menopause out-patient clinics of our hospital in the study. The cervical smear tests of all women were evaluated both using the conventional Pap smear and the TPT. Cytological examinations were compared according to their adequacy for evaluation.
