A cervical smear is a screening test used to detect pre-cancerous and cancerous cells by taking a sample of cells from the cervix.
Cervical cryotherapy is a treatment used for precancerous changes in the cervix caused by infection with the human papillomavirus (HPV). It is commonly used to treat cervical dysplasia (abnormal cells on the cervix) to prevent progression to cervical cancer.
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 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.
The C8 vertebra is not a true vertebra but rather an anatomical and numerical anomaly in the human cervical spine. It is an occasional variation seen in some individuals where there is an extra rib arising from the seventh cervical vertebra. This condition is known as a cervical rib.
the first 7 vertebrae, the neck vertebrae, are considered to be cervical

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.
