In women with AGCUS on ThinPrep smears, significant histopathologic findings were found in 34.9% versus 9.8%, depending on the subtype of the smear (favor neoplasia vs reactive). Further studies are needed to validate the cytologic criteria for subtyping AGCUS smears and base management of women with AGCUS cytology on the subtype of the smear.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
