Abstract :

At Miraca Life Sciences, we receive anorectal pap smears and biopsies from a colorectal clinic dealing primarily with â�?�?high riskâ�? populations mainly HIV positive patients. Our large database includes anorectal pap smears for screening and follow up as well as biopsies collected from the keratinized, non-keratinized portions and transformation zone. Dacron fiber swabs and liquid-based sampling are used. Questions to be answered: What is the natural history of the anorectal dysplasia? What is the difference between the cervical and anorectal pap? Follow up and treatment; is it different from cervical dysplasia? What is correlation between anal pap smears and biopsies? Should anal-rectal cytology be a standard of patient care in high risk population and female patients with genital HPV infection?
