Comprehensive Evaluation of Cervical Cancer Screening Modalities: A Comparative Analysis between Liquid-Based Cytology (Pap Smear) and Visual Inspection with Acetic Acid (VIA) with Histopathological Correlation

Abstract

Cervical cancer is a worldwide major health burden. It is a disease that is both common and 
preventable. Early diagnosis can play a critical role in successful therapy. Thus effective 
screening techniques, such as Liquid-Based Cytology (LBC) and Visual Inspection with Acetic 
Acid (VIA) can play an important role. In this study, the efficacy of LBC and VIA are 
compared against the histopathology findings.
