Cervical cancer in the UK is the 11th most common cancer in women and, despite the efforts of a well-structured systematic screening programme, still accounts for around 972 deaths per year. From the present day and in the coming years, the National Health Service Screening Programme, (NHSCSP) is rolling out liquid based cytology nationally. Laboratories in England and Wales will undergo conversion from traditional conventional cervical cytology to liquid based cytology requiring the retraining of all employees who currently report cervical cytology for the NHSCSP. This invaluable book aims to assist with this retraining emphasising where necessary the differences between liquid based and cervical cytology, exploring both techniques. Visually effective, this manual contains smear micrographs of both applications in full colour. Comprehensive and concise in its approach and highly topical, this book will be useful to biomedical scientist, cytoscreeners, training officers and students. It will also be of value to medical and professional people who are involved in cervical screening to update their knowledge and practical skills in this increasingly important subject.
