Cytological diagnosis and colposcopy findings is compared with histological ones for 187 patients with intraepithelial lesions (142 squamous and 45 glandular ones with or without squamous components) and determined the sensitivity and positive predictive value of cytology and colposcopy, including the types of colposcopic abnormalities associated with squamous/glandular intraepithelial lesions. The sensitivity of cytology as a screening method for SIL (squamous intraepithelial lesions) is 89% and for GIL (glandular intraepithelial lesions) 98%.
