In a specialized cytology laboratory this cervical smear is stained and visually inspected by microscopy for the presence of abnormal cells, which may be indicative for certain diseases. The quality of the results of this Pap smear (invented by the physician George Papanicolaou) largely depends upon the experience of the cytology laboratory. Therefore the results are not always reliable. Quite frequently the Pap smear yields a result Pap III or Pap IIID which does not unequivocally indicate cancer. Most dysplasias causing such a Pap smear result do heal spontaneously.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div><div class=\"flex_column av_one_half  flex_column_div av-zero-column-padding   avia-builder-el-4  el_after_av_one_half  el_before_av_hr  \" style='border-radius:0px; '><section  class='av_textblock_section av-av_textblock-0366cc7376be6c9e82a3e9cc8987b64f '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.epitype.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/Tumorzellen_Abstrich.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-900 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/www.epitype.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/Tumorzellen_Abstrich-300x122.png\" alt=\"Tumorzellen_Abstrich\" width=\"457\" height=\"186\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.epitype.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/Tumorzellen_Abstrich-300x122.png 300w, https:\/\/www.epitype.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/Tumorzellen_Abstrich-450x182.png 450w, https:\/\/www.epitype.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/Tumorzellen_Abstrich.png 486w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 457px) 100vw, 457px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><em>Microscopy of Pap smears from a healthy patient (left) and a patient with severe dysplasia (right).
