LBC Test Overview

LBC test performed for the detection of cervical cancer as well as HPV in women. It also detects early precancerous changes in the cells and hence with timely intervention progression to cancer can be prevented. The cells are collected from the cervix (lower end of vagina). Early detection helps in better diagnosis and prognosis. It is recommended between 25 years of age up to 65 years. As per (ACS/ASCCP/ASCP) tests should be done every 3 years. The frequency depends on the previous gynaecological history, risk factors and the tests undertaken. This is a less invasive test giving better results. It is preferred over the conventional method. 

Pap smear is a test to detect the risk of cervical cancer and to study the changes in cells during early-stage cervical cancer. This simple test involves a gynaecologist collecting cells from the cervix (the lower and narrow end of the uterus) and a pathology team analysing the cells. As opposed to a conventional pap smear test, the pap smear liquid-based cytology test is more precise and has fewer instances of giving a false-positive result.

Why is the Pap smear liquid-based cytology test done?

  • Pap smear liquid-based cytology test helps in knowing the risk of cervical cancer and observing changes in the cells in early-stage cancer.
  • This test helps catch cancer early or know if you are at a risk of developing cervical cancer and take measures to treat or prevent it at the earliest.
