Thin Prep Smear Test
Thin Prep Smear Test is a procedure which is performed to scan cervical cancer risk. It can be considered as the advanced version of Pap Smear Test. While the Pap Smear Test has a margin of error of 25%, the Thin Prep Smear has a margin of error of 4%. In contrast to a standard smear test, the swab obtained from the vagina is not applied to the glass surface in Thin Prep Smear. The swab is collected in a sample liquid and sterilized to remove factors that would have a negative impact on the outcome, such as blood, discharge, and inflammation cells. A cytopathologist microscope is used to examine only the cells that fall out of the uterine cervix. Concentrating on the region and evaluating the correct cells increases the test’s success rate.
