CONSIDER COMPREHENSIVE ASSESSMENT that includes pelvic examination, colposcopy, endocervical curettage, cervical biopsy, ultrasonography (US), and endometrial biopsy—especially if the woman is older than 60 years, hasn’t had a Pap test within the past 2 years, has never had a Pap test, or has a low educational status. That’s the conclusion of this prospective study of a screened population of 8,281 women.
