Liquid-based cytology for cervical screening (review)
NICE has recommended that liquid-based cytology should be used as the main way of preparing samples of cervical cells for cervical screening.
NICE has not recommended one product for liquid-based cytology over another as it says that there is currently not enough information about the advantages and disadvantages of the different products.
This guidance replaces TA5 Cervical cancer – liquid based cytology .
