A member asked:

What does this mean, endocervical component is present?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

The cells you want : Whenever we do a pap smear. .. In a woman who still has a cervix we want to make sure we obtain cells from the cervical canal. This is the cytologist way of letting us know we we're in the right area.
