Sample Method

Conventional Papanicolaou smear method is still commonly used for cervical cancer screening in Japan, despite the liquid-based cytology (LBC) that has become a global tendency in the world recently. One of the obstacles in the way of popularization of this method seems to be the confusion as to diagnosis upon cervical glandular lesions. We performed comparison study between LBC and conventional Papanicolaou smear about cytological diagnosis using split-sample method in 4522 patients. In 13 cases analyses, which were reported with either AGC or adenocarcinoma by either method, LBC tends to be milder than that by conventional smear, however, the credibility of LBC is considered to be near to that of conventional smear with regard to screening for glandular abnormalities. These results indicate that cervical cancer screening should shift to LBC under the enough experience and appropriate dealing with the cytological diagnosis.

Introduction: Minority immigrant women are more likely to be diagnosed with and suffer from cervical cancer compared to other minority women in the United States. Purpose: The purpose of this qualitative ethnographic study was to explore cultural health perceptions and behaviors of cervical cancer prevention among Korean immigrant women (KIW) in Hawaii. Methods: The Health Belief Model (HBM) and the Social Ecological Model (SEM) were used to guide the study. Data were collected using individual structured interviews with 20 KIW ages 21 to 65. Data were coded and analyzed to identify themes. Result: Findings revealed that participants (a) prefer a female gynecologist and Korean-speaking physicians; (b) are highly motivated to maintain physical health, including prevention; (c) prefer culturally appropriate community-based cancer prevention programs; and (d) expect innovative health maintenance approaches. Conclusion: Findings may be used by health care providers to identify culturally specific health needs of KIW related to cervical cancer screening, and to implement appropriate preventive measures for KIW to reduce cancer death.
