What is the Liquid Based Cytology (Pap Smear) Test?
Direct Answer: The Liquid Based Cytology Pap Smear test screens cervical cells to detect early precancerous or cancerous changes.
Liquid Based Cytology (LBC) is an advanced method of examining cervical cell samples collected from the cervix. The sample is preserved in a liquid medium, improving cell clarity and accuracy compared to conventional smears. This test helps in early identification of cervical cancer, HPV-related changes, and abnormal cervical cell growth. At healthcare nt sickcare, women in Pune can access testing through the Direct Walk-in Facility at our collection centre.
Why is this test advised?
