The pathological outcome of ThinPrep Pap tests diagnosed as glandular cell abnormalities alone versus combined glandular and squamous abnormalities
ConclusionA cytological diagnosis of GCA has a higher risk of glandular abnormality on surgical follow ‐up especially in the older and hrHPV‐negative group (P< .0001) while a combined diagnosis has a higher risk of a squamous lesion especially in<30 years (P< .0001). The combination of cytology, hrHPV‐status and patient age can significantly aid in the stratification of the patient into high risk for glandular/squamous lesions which results in appropriate management.
