BACKGROUND. The objective of this study was to evaluate whether liquid-based cytology (LBC) can improve high-standard cervical cancer screening cytology further. The primary endpoint was histopathologic high-grade lesions in current and subsequent screening rounds. The secondary endpoints were cytologic diagnosis and inadequate samples.METHODS. Women were randomized to smear taking by conventional Papanicolaou (Pap) smear or LBC according to the time of appointment. Eight thousand eight hundred ten conventional Pap smears and 4674 LBC samples were included. Evaluations of atypical cytology and referral to colposcopy and treatment were performed as routine procedures. Histopathologic diagnoses were retrieved from a regional database 8 months after the study was closed. The mean follow-Lip was 2 years and 9 months.RESULTS. inadequate samples were observed in 0.3% of LBC samples versus 0.7% of Pap smears (P =.002). The total fraction of nonbenign diagnoses in cytology was 4.5% versus 3.5%, respectively (P
