Bethesda System for Reporting Cervical Cytology

The Bethesda System for Reporting Cervical Cytology is a standardized method used by healthcare professionals to evaluate and report results from cervical cancer screenings, like Pap tests. It categorizes findings into clear categories, such as normal results, inflammation, or signs of precancerous changes. This system helps doctors communicate results effectively and determine appropriate follow-up actions. By providing consistent terminology, it aims to improve understanding, treatment, and patient care related to cervical health, ultimately aiding in the early detection and prevention of cervical cancer.
