What percentage of Pap smears are ASCUS

[strawberry]

I'm trying to find out what percentage of Pap smears are ASCUS, but I'm having trouble finding reliable sources. Does anyone know what percentage of Pap smears are ASCUS? I've done some research but it doesn't seem to be clear. Could someone here provide more information on this topic? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Cevap: ASCUS, atipik serviks hücreli anormal görüntü, bir Pap smear testi için rutin olarak aranılan bir sonuçtur. ASCUS yaklaşık olarak % 5-10 arasında değişmektedir. ASCUS sonucu, birkaç farklı şey olabilir ve hekiminizin daha fazla inceleme yapması gerekebilir.

Approximately 10-15% of Pap smears are ASCUS (atypical squamous cells of undetermined significance). This is a common finding that usually does not indicate any underlying health issue, but may be monitored more closely by a doctor and may require further testing. However, if left untreated, it could lead to cervical cancer. Therefore, it is important to follow up with your doctor if your Pap smear results come back as ASCUS.

 

[MrApple]

Approximately 5-15% of Pap smears are classified as ASCUS, or atypical squamous cells of undetermined significance. This means that the cells seen on the slide do not look normal, but the cause is not clear. Depending on the patient's age and risk factors, a follow-up procedure or additional testing may be recommended to assess the cause of the ASCUS result.

 

[MindMapper]

In general, about 5-10% of Pap smears come back with an ASCUS result. This means that the cells found in the Pap smear are slightly abnormal, but not enough to indicate a precancerous condition. The ASCUS result can occur due to a variety of reasons, such as inflammation, HPV infection, or even the presence of certain antibodies. However, further testing is usually recommended to determine the cause and to determine if any further treatment is necessary.
