Glossary:
Pap smear (the Papanicolaou smear) test involves gathering a sample of cells from the cervix, with a special
brush. The sample is placed on a glass slide or in a bottle containing a solution to preserve the cells. Then it is
sent to a laboratory for a pathologist to examine under a microscope. https://www.cancer.net/navigating-
cancer-care/diagnosing-cancer/tests-and-procedures/pap-test
LBC (the liquid-based cytology) test, transfers a thin layer of cells, collected with a brush from the cervix,
onto a slide after removing blood or mucus from the sample. The sample is preserved so other tests can be
done at the same time, such as the human papillomavirus (HPV) test https://www.cancer.net/cancer-
types/cervical-cancer/diagnosis
HPV (human papilloma virus) test is done on a sample of cells removed from the cervix, the same sample
used for the Pap test or LBC. This sample is tested for the strains of HPV most commonly linked to cervical
cancer. HPV testing may be done by itself or combined with a Pap test and/or LBC. This test may also be
done on a sample of cells which a person can collect on their own.

Sensitivity and specificity mathematically describe the accuracy of a test which reports the presence
or absence of a condition. If individuals who have the condition are considered "positive" and those who
don't are considered "negative", then sensitivity is a measure of how well a test can identify true positives
and specificity is a measure of how well a test can identify true negatives:
• Sensitivity (true positive rate) is the probability of a positive test result, conditioned on the
individual truly being positive.
• Specificity (true negative rate) is the probability of a negative test result, conditioned on the
individual truly being negative (Sensitivity and specificity – Wikipedia).
