Improved cervical smear assessment using antibodies against proteins that regulate DNA replication
8 Dec 1998
Abstract excerpt
Carcinoma of the cervix is one of the most common malignancies. Papanicolaou (Pap) smear tests have reduced mortality by up to 70%. Nevertheless their interpretation is notoriously difficult with high false-negative rates and frequently fatal consequences.
