  • Title: Correlation between cervical cytology and biopsy in an air force colposcopy clinic.
    Author: Smith KH, Bostrom SG, Galey WT.
    Journal: J Reprod Med; 1985 Sep; 30(9):681-4. PubMed ID: 4057183.
    Abstract:
    We examined 258 patients in the colposcopy clinic at David Grant USAF Medical Center from January 1980 to December 1982. Two hundred eleven records (82%) were comprehensive enough to be reviewed. Forty-six percent (97 of 211) of the original cervical (Papanicolaou) smears showed only atypia. Forty percent (39 of 97) of them subsequently showed dysplasia on colposcopically directed cervical biopsy. When cervical smears were repeated at the initial colposcopy clinic visit, 36% (75 of 211) were negative. There were no cases of invasive cervical cancer.
