title: Changing terminology and screening recommendations in cervical cytology screening programs.
abstract: In summary, we have presented proposed new diagnostic terminology and screening frequencies for cervical cytology with some of the surrounding debate. As Thailand develops its own cervical screening program for squamous cell carcinoma, an awareness of these new recommendations may help in the design of a local program in the most cost effective manner.
