Q

Papanicolaou test – “Pap Smear”
* Routine screening for what?
* May also screen for what?
* When should you should you start screenign?
* What should be biopsied?

A
  • Routine screening for cervical cancer, or cell changes known to lead to cancer
  • May also screen for HPV

What is the timeline for paps?

A

Anyone with a cervix between the ages of 21 and 30 should get a Pap smear at least once every three years.Between the ages of 30 and 65, you should have one every five years.

Q

Where does 90% of squamous cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) occurs?

A

within the transformation
* This is why it is so important to get cells from the squamous epithelium (exocervix) and the columnar epithelium (endocervix).

Q

Cervical Intraepithelial Neoplasia (CIN)
* Hormonal influence of puberty + changes in vaginal pH causes what?

A

causes squamous margin to encroach on the single-layer, mucous secreting epithelium, creating an area of metaplasia - “transformation zone”

Q

Cerival cancer
* What is the most primary initating event? What is it?
* What are other risk factors?(4)

A

HPV infection is the primary initiating event
* HPV a double stranded DNA virus infects epithelium near transformation zone.

Q

Cervical Dysplasia Summary:
* What do you do if pap result show ASCUS or LSIL/CIN I

⭐️TEST

A

Test for HPV

Repeat pap in 2-12 months

If the pap shows ASCUS/LSIL CIN I is present again then perform a colposcopy: use of a colposcope to visualize vulva, vagina and cervix with magnification to evaluate benign, premalignant and potentially malignant disease

The lesions will turn white when acetic acid is applied
* Higher grade will cause greater/more rapid absorption (Higher grade= more white and faster)
