Department of Pathomorphology, Pomeranian Medical Academy, Szczecin

Abstract

Among the reasons for the low effectiveness of preventive measures for early detection of cancers and preinvasive states of the uterine cervix there is insufficient training of people performing cytological screening. In order to decrease the rate of false negative diagnosis it is necessary to improve the organisation of permanent professional training of cytopathologists and cytotechnicians.
