A member asked:
Is an ecc used to confirm the pap abnormal levels results (ie if you tested low grade level) how likely is it that the results would differ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
ECC and abn pap: ECC - endocervical curettage - is a scraping of the lining of the cervix. It is done to assess if there are any precancerous cells growing in the cervix - which may mean much more extensive treatment than a simple cervical abnormality. see http://cancer.about.com/od/cancerglossary/g/eccdefinition.htm You may get two different results - the cervical biopsy may be + and the ECC - or + and +
