Summary:Aim. The cytological test has multiple valences, allowing the early discovery and location of feminine genitalcancer. Material and methods. In the period of time between 2001 and 2009, the study made within the Obstetrics andGynecology Department of "Sf. Apostol Andrei" Emergency Hospital in Gala?i, revealed that from 415 cases with achanged PAP smear, the cytological diagnosis showed cancerous and pre-cancerous lesions in 53 patients (12.8%). Weharvested cytological smears for most cases we studied and we even performed biopsies of the cervix where there was anindication to do that. The cytological smears were coloured using Giemsa technique or the method with hematoxylin-eosin (H-E). Results. The cancerous and pre-cancerous stage was identified in 12.8% of the cases we analyzed, asfollows: L-SIL 1,9%; H-SIN 8,0%; CIN 2,9%. Conclusion. The cytological examination proved to have exceptionalqualities as a screening method, becoming lately an accurate method for early detection of cervical cancer.
