Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
The current cervical screening guidelines lay the duty of care of women under 25 years of age on genitourinary (GU) medicine clinics. To date there has not been an extensive review of cervical cytology results sourced from GU medicine departments. We reviewed the annual reports of the cervical screening programme, with their extensive and comparative data, including records of cervical cytology from GU medicine. There is a clear and progressive trend of rising percentages of 'severe dyskaryosis' in laboratory reported GU medicine cervical smears. The trend and observations indicate that GU medicine physicians should take young women's concern on cervical cancer seriously. The programme of opportunistic cervical screening in GU medicine should not be discouraged. |
