necologist for follow-up of an abnormal Papanicolaou
(Pap) smear. (Diagnosis used for lab.) The physician
refers patient for repeat Pap smear. The specimen is
sent for interpretation and report by the pathologist
providing consultative services.
SPECIMENS: Pap smear, cervix.
METHODOLOGY: Morphometric analysis Fluorescent
In Situ Hybridization (FISH) using computer-assisted
technology, professional component. (Procedure per-
formed.)
RESULTS: The pathologist reviews images from the
slides. The pathologist does not identify any copies

FISH studies to evaluate the tissue for the 3q26 and
5p15 genes which are associated with increased risk
to develop cervical dysplasia.

cervical cancer.
The patient decides to have these studies and the
physician performs a Pap smear on the same day.
