[Standardization of the cytological results attained in conducting prophylactic gynecological examinations].

The paper discusses some problems of standardization of diagnostic reports made at different stages of cytologic examination in the course of mass gynecologic screenings. The stages were as follows: (1) sorting-out of pathologic and normal material, (2) primary cytologic diagnosis, (3) final cytomorphologic diagnosis. A cytomorphologic classification based on the degree of atypia of cervical epithelium and on histo-cytological correlations is suggested.
