Is cytology a TCT?

In addition to HPV testing, cervical cancer screening also includes a cytology test, namely TCT test, but this type of test can easily overlook some cervical cancers. Combined with HPV testing, it can better screen. After many female friends undergo a gynecological examination, the doctor will recommend a TCT examination. Then some friends will ask, is cytology examination TCT?

At present, in clinical medicine, cervical cytology examination not only refers to TCT examination, but also includes HPV screening. The diagnosis rate of cervical TCT examination for cervical cancer can reach more than 80%, while HPV screening can detect cervical precancerous lesions earlier. The combination of these two tests can more accurately screen out cervical lesions, but abnormal results of cervical cytology examination do not mean cervical cancer. If necessary, colposcopy and cervical cell puncture biopsy can be performed to establish the characteristics of the lesion and provide a basis for histological diagnosis.

In addition, if a disease is found during the inspection process, intervention should be carried out as soon as possible, and women should pay attention to increasing physical exercise and enhancing their own immunity to eliminate viral infections in the body.

In outpatient clinics, doctors need to use many modern methods to examine patients' symptoms, and cervical TCT is one of them. TCT examination is also known as cervical acid-fast staining, also known as cervical chromatographic fluid-based cytology non-destructive testing technology, and is one of the most advanced technologies for screening cervical cancer in women. The diagnostic rate of cervical tumor cells is 100%. If a woman's TCT examination data shows problems, it should not be ignored and further examination should be performed to accurately determine the condition. On the other hand, if the TCT test data shows good, it means everything is normal and no other tests are needed, then you can breathe a sigh of relief, but it is still recommended to return for a follow-up visit after 1 year.

TCT examination is currently the world's most advanced cervical cancer cell detection technology. Compared with the traditional Papanicolaou acid-fast staining test, the TCT test significantly improves the satisfaction rate of specimen collection, and the diagnosis rate of cervical cell abnormalities is also significantly improved. Testing some tumor cells is also a very effective way to check. Therefore, when there is something abnormal in our privacy protection, the doctor will give us a TCT to check the situation. Generally, if a large number of microbial species are detected in the TCT test, it means that we have vaginitis caused by this microbial species.

Therefore, after introducing TCT examination, I believe many people have a certain understanding of this matter. This method can detect early tumor cells that have not undergone morphological changes. Compared with the traditional Papanicolaou acid-fast staining test, the Papanicolaou acid-fast staining test is more objective, more accurate, more unbiased, and can achieve a true early diagnosis.
