Description
Anal Pap test using the liquid-based cytology method is an informative and highly accurate examination used to detect abnormal cells in the anal canal. These cells may indicate infection with the human papillomavirus (HPV) or other pathologies, including cancer or precancerous changes.
When and who needs the test?
Main indications for performing an anal Pap test using the liquid-based cytology method include:
- Suspected human papillomavirus (HPV) infection – especially in individuals at increased risk, such as men who have sex with men (MSM) or HIV-positive patients.
- Prevention of anal canal cancer – particularly for individuals at high risk of developing anal cancer due to HIV infection, the presence of HPV (especially high-risk oncogenic types), or other factors such as unprotected anal intercourse.
- Detection of precancerous changes – to identify cellular changes in the anal canal in a timely manner that could lead to cancer development.
- Presence of anal ulcers or other symptoms – such as pain, bleeding, or itching, which may indicate pathological processes in the anal canal.
