The reliance on the Papanicolaou smear as a screening and diagnostic test for uterine cancer and its precursors infers that appraisal of the specimen's adequacy is based upon a uniform standard of quality. The presence or absence of endocervical cells in cervical samples has been suggested as one measure of a specimen's adequacy. Not all Cytologists are satisfied with the reliability of this criterion, however. On-going studies are indicated to determine those factors which are critical to the evaluation of the adequacy of these specimens.
将巴氏涂片作为子宫癌及其癌前病变的筛查和诊断测试意味着，对标本充分性的评估是基于统一的质量标准。宫颈样本中是否存在宫颈管细胞已被提议作为衡量标本充分性的一项指标。然而，并非所有细胞学家都对该标准的可靠性感到满意。因此，有必要开展持续研究以确定那些对评估这些标本充分性至关重要的因素。
