Cervical cancer is the 6thmost common cancer worldwide. It is still an under estimated entity in the developing and under developed countries. Proper screening and management is required for a better outcome. Present study is done to correlate the cervical cytology and biopsy to reduce the incidence of precancerous lesions in our region. 1244 PAP smears were studied out of which 39 showed positivity on Pap smear and all the 39 were subjected to biopsy to correlate the atypical features with histopathology, study period was 2 years. Extensive screening protocol should be followed during the Pap screening as factors like age, parity, conceptions are keys predisposing factors for precancerous lesions. HPV infection might also be an important factor for cancerous lesions. Hence immunohistochemistry and PCR might be useful in early diagnosis of HPV infection.
