英国政府称,将用未来5年的时间推广液态的宫颈癌细胞学检查方法(LBC),替换可信度不高的巴氏(Pap)涂片试验。 公共卫生部长Melanie Johnson指出,这是女性的福音,目前每年约30万名妇女因筛查试验解读有误而不得不重做,使她们感到不安和猜疑。LBC可使宫颈筛查试验更易于解读并减少妇女重做试验次数。已经有一系列事实反映出Pap涂片试验的可信性有问题。在Kent and Canterbury医院 The British government said it will replace the less reliable Pap smear test with a liquid cervical cytology (LBC) test in the next five years.

LBC makes cervical screening tests easier to read and reduces the number of women’s redo trials. There are a number of facts that reflect the question of the credibility of Pap smear tests.
