Validity of the oncological cytodiagnostics and colposcopy examination versus biopsy in cervical carcinoma prevention.

Abstract

The basic praebioptic methods detecting the precancerous lesions of the uterine cervix are oncologic cytology (PAP smears) and colposcopy. However in the Czech Republic the incidence of the invasive carcinomas during the last 10 years did not conciderably decrease.

Therefore the goal of our study is to estimate the validity of the prebioptic methods and compare the results of praebioptic methods (procedures) versus biopsy.
