Excerpt
This book should be viewed in conjunction with an earlier WHO publication entitled Cytological screening in the control of cervical cancer: technical guidelines (Geneva, WHO, 1988). The two publications, together with the report of a WHO meeting, are intended to assist in the planning, development, management and monitoring of programmes for early detection of cervical cancer.
