Abstract:
The presentation will briefly review the biological characteristics of the HPV virus and HPV-related cervical carcinogenesis. In the past decade, HPV testing and cervical cytology have become the routine clinically in screening cervical cancer and its precursors. The lecture will review the sensitivity and specificity of HPV testing and cervical cytology. Cytomorphological features of squamous dysplasias (LSIL and HSIL) will be briefly reviewed. The presentation will particularly emphasize the challenge of endocervical glandular abnormality and discuss the differential diagnoses of glandular lesions in cervical cytology
