Abstract
Objetivo: revisión realizada para destacar la importancia de una muestra citológica óptima para la pesquisa de cáncer de cuello uterino y sus lesiones precursoras, con fines preventivos de diagnóstico y conocimiento de los lineamientos de manejo clínico vigentes, mediante una adecuada muestra. Material y metodología. se realizó una búsqueda electrónica en la base de datos PubMed utilizando los siguientes términos y combinaciones: cervical cytology, screening cervical cáncer, Bethesda system, adecuacy, false negatives, clinical follow-up. Las variables fueron la adecuación de la muestra citológica para pesquisa de cáncer de cuello uterino establecida por el sistema Bethesda y el seguimiento clínico vigente. Resultados: la evaluación de la calidad de la muestra citológica se considera como principal aporte de garantía de calidad del sistema Bethesda para el informe de los hallazgos. Existen lineamientos de manejo clínico relacionados con la adecuada muestra y el seguimiento clínico establecidos hace más de una década y que aún son vigentes. Conclusiones: una muestra citológica óptima permite detectar una mayor proporción de lesiones del cuello uterino significativas, contribuye a la efectividad clínica de la pesquisa de cáncer y establece el mejor cuidado para la paciente. Es necesario concientizar al personal involucrado sobre la importancia de obtener muestras adecuadas.

Comparative study on the adequacy of cervical smears using wooden Ayre's spatula, VS Papcone® sampling device. Gynecol Oncol Rep 2021; 38:100860.

Abstract
This is a comparative study on the adequacy of cervical smears obtained using the Papcone® sampling device or wooden Ayre's spatula conducted from two tertiary health facilities -- Nnamdi Azikiwe University Teaching Hospital Nnewi and Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu University Teaching Hospital Awka, in Anambra State, Nigeria. Slides from smears obtained using both devices were read by a cytopathologist blinded for the study. The primary outcome was the proportion of smears with an adequate endocervical component. Significantly higher adequate cervical smears were obtained in 177/192 (92.2%) women using the Papcone® sampling device, compared to 152/192 (79.2%) using wooden Ayre's spatula (p < 0.001). Kappa analysis showed moderate inter-rater agreement between the two devices. We recommend the use of the Papcone device when it is available, as the adequacy of cervical smears obtained with the Papcone® was better than that obtained using wooden Ayre's spatula.
