Abstract

This study assesses the follow-up provided to patients of a family medicine clinic in Quebec who had abnormal cervical smears that were possibly precancerous or cancerous. Less follow-up was provided in the case of benign atypical smears, probably because the role of benign atypia in the pathogenesis of cervical cancer is as yet unclear.
