Combined use of conventional smear and liquid-based preparation versus conventional smear for thyroid fine-needle aspiration

Endocrine, 2015
The purpose of the study was to compare the diagnostic utility of the combined conventional smear (CS) and liquid-based preparation (LBP) compared to CS with respect to the non-diagnostic rate, the atypia of undetermined significance (AUS) or follicular lesion of undetermined significance (FLUS) rate, and the diagnostic performances for malignancy ...

Comparison of the Surepath™ liquid-based Papanicolaou smear with the conventional Papanicolaou smear in a multisite direct-to-vial study [PDF]

Cancer, 2004
Split-sample clinical trials for liquid-based Papanicolaou (Pap) smears demonstrated that the liquid-based Pap smear was a safe and effective replacement for the conventional Pap smear. However, clinical intended use of liquid-based technology employs direct-to-vial collection methods.
