A member asked:
Reactive endocervical cells present - cancer present or not?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Bx cervix: Reactive cells defined on Pap and probably not on bx-colcoscopy. Pap smear stain only indicates cell type based on shape and as such has a 40% error. Monoclonals specific to cervix Ca being planned for clnical trials . It picks up presence of squamous Ca protein only found in normal cells expressing the protein. When available this test will be 100% accurate and suggest when Ca is developing.
