False-negative Papanicolaou smears from women with cancerous and precancerous lesions of the uterine cervix
The occurrence from 1980 to 1989 of false-negative Papanicolaou smears in women with cancerous and precancerous lesions of the uterine cervix was studied. The 4,781 cases of cancer (2,814 invasive carcinomas and 593 carcinomas in situ) and precancerous lesions (418 severe dysplasias, 748 moderate dy...
