[Liquid phase cytology in the primary screening for cervical cancer: a multicenter study].

The aim of this six-centre, split-sample study was to compare ThinPrep fluid-based cytology to the conventional Papanicolaou smear. Six Cytopathology laboratories and 35 Gynaecologists participated. 5428 patients met the inclusion criteria.

[Cytological screening of uterine cervical cancer by samples in liquid medium (CytoRich). Preliminary study of a series of 111 292 patients].

We report on the preliminary results of a series of 111,292 patients who benefited from a liquid medium sample (CytoRich) for cervical cancer screening. The number of dubious or limited smears was reduced by 0.03% and 0.
