Abstract
This study confirmed the good overall specificity of the Pap smear for glandular lesions in general. It also confirmed the good sensitivity for glandular lesions of the cervix and the poor sensitivity for glandular lesions of the endometrium. It thus confirmed that the Pap smear is not an effective screening tool for endometrial AC, and that the quest for alternative screening methods should continue.
