A cervical smear is a screening test used to detect pre-cancerous and cancerous cells by taking a sample of cells from the cervix.
Women who undergo this procedure typically have had an abnormal Pap smear which has led to a diagnosis of cervical squamous dysplasia often confirmed by biopsy after a colposcopic exam.
ASCUS is not a stage of dysplasia; it's a reading on a pap smear, which is a screening test for cervical cancer. A screening test is a simple, noninvasive test to determine what patients need further testing. During a colposcopy, the clinician will typically take biopsies to determine the stage of dysplasia. A pap smear cannot provide that information. See related link for more information about cervical cancer screening and colposcopy.
The disease Cervical Myelopathy is classified as a dysfunction of the spinal cord. As result, there can be multiple sources for Cervical Myelopathy, which include cervical stenosis, herniated discs, and sclerosis.
The smear will not adhere well if there is grease on the slide.
The cervical spine is made up of seven cervical vertebrae. These are numbered(C1-C7) and are the smallest of the true vertebrae. The third through sixth cervical vertebrae have characteristics in common. The first, second, and seventh are considered special cervical vertebrae, and have different characteristics.

A cervical smear is a screening test for cervical cancer and precancerous changes on the cervix. It allows early treatment if a problem is found.
The initial screening test for cervical cancer is the Pap smear. This test is not specific, however; the more specific test used when the smear indicates the need for further treatment is the cervical biopsy.
