Description

field of invention [0001] The present invention relates to the field of microscopic examination of cytological samples. Background of the invention [0002] Cervical cancer is the second most common cancer in women worldwide and is the leading cause of cancer death among women in developing countries. About 30% of cancers in women are cervical cancer, for example in India over 100,000 new cases are diagnosed every year. The projected compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of cervical cancer cases is 2.56%, at which rate approximately 175,000 new cases of cervical cancer will be detected in 2012. [0003] A recommended tool for screening for cervical cancer is cytology to detect cancer in the Papanicolaou test (also called Pap-smear, Pap-test, Pap smear, or smear test) Precursor, which is a screening test used in gynecology to detect premalignant and malignant lesions in the cervical canal, especially the degenerative zone. [0004] When taking a Pap smear, a vaginal speculum ...
