| Sumario: | The implementation of liquid-based cytology at Calgary Laboratory Services and its application to cervical screening in the province of Alberta are described. The advantages of liquid-based cytology compared with conventional cytology are discussed. Advances in human papillomavirus (HPV) testing and developments in immunocytochemistry are reviewed. Finally, the authors discuss their experience in the application of Lean Six Sigma principles to the cytopathology laboratory. L'article porte sur l'adoption de la technique de cytologic en milieu liquide par les Services de laboratoire de Calgary et son utilisation dans le dépistage du cancer du col de l'utérus dans la province de l'Alberta. II examine les avantages de la technique par rapport á la méthode classique, les avancées dans le dépistage du virus du papillome humain et les faits nouveaux en immunocytochimie. Enfin, les auteurs présentent leur initiative de mise en application des principes Lean Six Sigma au laboratoire de cytopathologie. |
