Résumé

Although liquid-based cytology (LBC) is now recommended for cervical cancer screening, it requires expensive automated devices and materials. To evaluate the efficiency of inexpensive LBC methods relying on an inexpensive fixative liquid, Easyfix, we compared the results obtained by the liquid-based cytology (LBC) diagnoses performed by cytocentrifugations (Papspin and Turbitec) with those obtained by histology. Furthermore, we evaluated the efficiency of the fixative liquid, Easyfix, to preserve HPV DNA in the collected samples.
