Posted on May 01 2002 The aims of this update report are: to present the 2001 update of the Bethesda system, to compare the performance of the cervical smear in liquid-based medium to that of the conventional Papanicolaou smear, to assess the HPV test in terms of its reliability and its place in a management strategy after a cytological abnormality has been detected. This report does not address ways and means of routine cervical smear screening for cervical cancer, nor the use of the HPV test as a screening tool for cervical cancer. Posted on May 01 2002
