Summary: Papanicolaou smear screening for cervical cancer has become an established practice in most developed countries. This is because the cervix is relatively accessible to investigation and treatment, and early stages in the morphogenesis of cervical cancer are both recognizable and easily treated.The Pap smear is a valid test.

Since the Papanicolaou (Pap) smear became implemented as a screening tool for cervical cancer, the mortality from cervical cancer has sharply declined in the United States. The discovery of the human papillomavirus (HPV) as the causative agent in the progression from dysplasia of the cervix to cervical cancer has changed the types of screening offered ...

Evaluation of the atypical Pap smear
American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology, 1987Two hundred thirty-six consecutively referred patients with "atypical" but not dysplastic Pap smears were evaluated by colposcopy and directed biopsies to assess the significance of this ambiguous result.

How did we arrive at a system in which a cheap screening test whose cost-effectiveness assumes a price of $20 to $30 could become a four-figure budget item? Multiple steps are involved, but the net result is skyrocketing health care costs and skipped screenings.

Proliferation in “Atypical” Atrophic Pap Smears
Gynecologic Oncology, 2000Atrophic cervical epithelium of postmenopausal women may mimic high-grade cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN2-3) in Papanicolaou-stained cervical smears (Pap smears). Women with such an "atypical" Pap smear need a repeated Pap smear after a course of estrogens before a definite diagnosis can be made.
