Abstract

The article discusses the results of a study that examines the effectiveness of vaginal cytology in postoperative surveillance in detecting the recurrent of endometrial cancer and the optimal management of squamous abnormalities. The study finds no case of recurrent cancer in women with atypical squamous cells. It concludes that there is no need for colposcopy after a Pap test result showed atypical squamous cells of undetermined significance or low-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (LSIL).
