ABSTRACT
Using the VCE technique, the Pap smears of 249 women with abnormal ovaries were examined at the Cytological Laboratory, Siriraj Hospital. The cases, ranging in age from 15 to 85 years (the mean age being 42.1 +/- 14.7 years), were diagnosed as follows 49 cases with cysts, 89 cases with tumours and 111 cases with cancer. The mean ages of the women with cysts, tumours and cancer of the ovaries were 34.0 +/- 8.6, 37.2 +/- 12.8 and 49.5 +/- 14.8 years, respectively. The percentages of women with cysts, tumours and cancer diagnosed cytologically as having a normal smear were 44.9, 28.1 and 23.4; and infection and inflammation of abnormal ovaries 49.0, 49.4 and 41.5, respectively. The percentages of those with abnormal cells at the uterine cervix were 6.1, 21.4, and 31.5; endometrial adenocarcinoma 0, 1.1 and 0; and ovarian adenocarcinoma 0, 0 and 3.6, respectively. Although Pap smear examination using the VCE technique is sensitive in the early detection of cervical cancer, it is not a sensitive method in the detection of ovarian cancer.
