The present invention is directed to a method for determining the adequacy of a Papanicolaou test comprising the following steps: sampling the transformation zone of the uterine cervix of a patient for squamous metaplastic endocervical cells, determining whether the number of squamous metaplastic endocervical cells in said sample exceed a critical number, and accepting the validity of the test if said critical number of said metaplastic endocervical cells is exceeded (Fig.5B). |
