Cervical intraepithelial neoplasia in postmenopausal women with negative cervical cytology
1985
Roberts, Anthony D.G. | Denholm, Rodney B. | Cordiner, J.W.
Evidence is presented on the detection of 4 cases of cervical intra-epithelial neoplasia in 50 post-menopausal women, who had undergone a cytological examination via a cervical smear with negative results. These findings emphasize the importance of continuing cytological monitoring of women into old age. It is concluded that colposcopy and cytology together can greatly improve the diagnosis of cervical abnormalities, and that, while such screening is generally not practicable at present, it may be the only way of eradicating cervical cancer.
