Résumé : | In cervical dysplasia and neoplasia, recent studies have reported the unreliability of the pap smear. We have used a new screening technique, cervicography and have compared it to cervix cytology. We have performed biopsies under colposcopy as reference and quality control. On a series of 65 selected patients with pap smear screening program which were sent to the colposcopic triage, the cervicography is more sensitive (83%) than the pap smear (sensitivity: 42%). However, those two tests are from a specificity point of view, comparable (cervicography: 95% versus pap smear: 98%). The association of these two techniques has detected all the lesions: they seem to be complementary. In the Bordet Institute we decided to systematically perform both pap smear and cervicography for cervix screening. |
