ABSTRACT

Context and objective: The latest update of the Bethesda System divided the category of atypical squamous cells of undetermined significance (ASCUS) into ASC-US (undetermined significance) and ASC-H (high-grade intraepithelial lesion cannot be ruled out). The aims here were to measure the prevalence of pre-invasive lesions (cervical intraepithelial neoplasia, CIN II/III) and cervical cancer among patients referred to Instituto Fernandes Figueira (IFF) with ASC-H cytology, and compare them with ASC-US cases. Design and setting: Cross-sectional study with retrospective data collection, at the IFF Cervical Pathology outpatient clinic. Methods: ASCUS cases referred to IFF from November 1997 to September 2007 were reviewed according to the 2001 Bethesda System to reach cytological consensus. The resulting ASC-H and ASC-US cases, along with new cases, were analyzed relative to the outcome of interest...


Contexto e objetivo: A última atualização do Sistema Bethesda dividiu a categoria de células escamosas atípicas de significado indeterminado (ASCUS) em ASC-US (de significado indeterminado) e ASC-H (quando não se pode excluir lesão intra-epitelial de alto grau). Os objetivos deste estudo foram medir a prevalência da lesão pré-invasiva (Neoplasia Intra-epitelial Cervical, NIC II/III) e câncer cervical, de pacientes que foram encaminhadas ao Instituto Fernandes Figueira (IFF), com citologia ASC-H e compará-la com os casos ASC-US. Tipo de estudo e local: Estudo transversal com coleta de dados retrospectiva, que ocorreu no ambulatório de Patologia Cervical do IFF. Métodos: Casos com diagnóstico de ASCUS recebidos no IFF entre novembro de 1997 a setembro de 2007, foram revisados de acordo com o Sistema Bethesda 2001 até um diagnóstico de consenso. Os casos ASC-H e ASC-US resultantes desta revisão, e os casos novos, foram analisados em relação ao desfecho de interesse...
