[Cytologic cancer prevention with smears of the uterine cervix and endocervical canal in pregnancy].
This study was performed to evaluate the importance of obtaining prepartum Papanicolaou smears routinely. 1,417 patients receiving pregnancy care had normal prenatal Pap smears. 88 (5.85%) had abnormal prepartum Pap smears. Thirteen (14.8%) of the abnormal smears showed squamous dysplasia, 2 (2.3%) showed an adenocarcinoma or squamous invasive carcinoma. The results of this study support the practice of performing Pap smears during prenatal care.
