Diagnostic Test Accuracy Review of Cytology for Squamous Intraepithelial Lesion and Squamous Cell Carcinoma of Uterine Cervix

Background Even though cervico-vaginal smears have been used as a primary screening test for cervical carcinoma, the diagnostic accuracy has been controversial. The present study aimed to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of cytology for squamous intraepithelial lesion (SIL) and squamous cell carcinoma (SqCC) of the uterine cervix through a diagnostic test accuracy (DTA) review.
