The MonoPrep Pap Test (MPPT; MonoGen, Lincolnshire, IL) is a novel, liquid-based specimen collection and processing technology for cytologic and molecular testing. Its usefulness in the detection of cervical cancer and its precursors was evaluated in a multicenter, masked, adjudicated, split-sample study of 10,739 samples. After preparation of a conventional smear, the residuum on the collection device was rinsed into a collection vial from which an MPPT slide was prepared.

Design: Postmenopausal women not on hormone therapy but with an intact uterus were enrolled (N = 1,147); 1,142 were evaluated. Participants were randomly assigned to treatment with 1.
Objective: To compare the incident rate of abnormal endometrial findings in postmenopausal women receiving treatment with either 60 mg of raloxifene or a continuous combined estrogen plus progestin therapy containing 2 mg of 17 beta-estradiol plus 1 mg of norethisterone acetate for a duration of up to 12 months.
Methods: One thousand eight asymptomatic postmenopausal women with osteoporosis or cardiovascular risk factors with an endometrial thickness of less than 5 mm at baseline participated in this prospective, randomized, double-blind trial that lasted 6 months; 347 of these women also participated in a 6-month extension. Women with repeated bleeding or an increase in endometrial thickness to above 5 mm were subjected to saline-infused sonohysterography or hysteroscopy with biopsy.
