CUBA REYES, Martha et al. The importance of Bethesda system in the cytological diagnosis of the cervix pre-cancerous lesions. Rev.Med.Electrón. [online]. 2019, vol.41, n.1, pp. 203-210. ISSN 1684-1824.
The cervical-uterine cancer causes almost 250 000 death a year around the world and around 400 in Cuba in spite of the efforts made by the Public Health Ministry through the Screening Program. With it, the diagnosis of lesions that are predecessors of the cervical cancer could be reached. This cytological diagnosis is carried out through the Richard and Barron method, showing that there is an apparent cytological progress leading to the cancer that begins with intraepithelial neoplasia (NICI and NICIII and carcinoma in-situ) and ends in the invasive cancer. From the other hand there is the Bethesda methods answering to all the questions cytology ask for confronting it. Obviously the biggest contributions and reviews are focused in the management of the atypical cytologies with uncertain significance since they not only have a higher number of possible evaluations, but also represent the highest percent of the altered cytologies and the inclusion of the HPV in low grade lesions. The classification in Cuba is still made by the Richard method and the Bethesda one is not used. Due to the high incidence of this entity, the aim of this article is exposing considerations on the implementation of the Bethesda system in the cytological diagnosis of cervix pre-cancerous lesions.
