title: [Trends in the development of the cytological cervical screening].
abstract: Cytological method, as a part of cervical screening, demands to keep strictly to the defined standards for its implementation. At the same time the interpretation of the findings appears a subjective assessment of an objective realities. In this connection, the improvement of the screening method becomes the difficult task, which in the last decade resolved at the several directions: preparation of the standard adequate smear (thin preptechnique), automation of the screening and HPV typization as a part of the screening. It is pointed out, that these new technologies reduce the errors, increase the sensitivity and specificity of the diagnostics, as well as show better proportion "cost-effectiveness", comparing to standard screening.
