The mean duration of
ASCUS in women who tested negative for HPV was 7.
Colposcopy-directed biopsy was performed in patients with LSIL or HSIL, or with
ASCUS and high-risk HPV.
Laboratory rates of
ASCUS will vary depending on the patient population, diagnostic criteria, and experience and skill of the cytotechnologist or cytopathologist.
This terminology has been eliminated, largely to avoid confusing the acronym with
ASCUS.
The researchers found that women at low risk for developing cervical disease could be spared the need for a range of possible treatment options currently followed for
ASCUS patients.
Furthermore, this study found that among 146
ASCUS samples in women followed at least 2 years since the test, 123 (84%) experienced disease regression before the following visit.
Attila Lorincz, Senior Vice President and Chief Scientific Officer at Digene, said, "The new findings from this important study again confirm the important role that HPV testing, using Digene's hc2 HPV Test, plays in
ASCUS triage.
Euscher stated, "The results of this study support the clinical utility of testing for HPV by ISH in predicting which women with
ASCUS are at high risk and, as importantly, low risk for SIL (Unequivocal Squamous Intraepithelial Lesion).
The UN's health arm has been delivering med- ical help to Syria from the start of the conflict but has to operate through Dam-
ascus.
Whether testing for high-risk HPV permits triage of anal atypical squamous cells of unknown significance (
ASCUS) remains unclear, though it probably does not, while testing for high-risk HPV does permit triage of cervical
ASCUS.
ascus, (SANA) -- Dam Prime Minister, Wael al-Halqi, stressed on Monday that the return of the displaced Syrians is evidence of their clinging to their homeland to contribute to the reconstruction process of the renewed Syria.
Managing atypical squamous cells of undetermined significance (
ASCUS): Human papillomavirus testing,
ASCUS subtyping, or follow-up cytology?
