Adenocarcinoma of the cervix occurred in 13 women who had previously had "negative" cervical smears. These smears were reviewed, and abnormalities were found in six cases, the intervals ranging from two to eight years. It is concluded that adenocarcinoma, like squamous carcinoma of the cervix, can have a prolonged evolution during which it is cytologically detectable.
13名曾有宫颈涂片“阴性”结果的女性发生了宫颈腺癌。对这些涂片进行复查后,发现6例存在异常,间隔时间为2至8年。得出的结论是,宫颈腺癌与宫颈鳞癌一样,可能有一个细胞学可检测的漫长演变过程。
