The ASCCP, together with 28 other professional societies,
organizations, and federal / international agencies, will be holding
another Consensus Conference on the Management of Women with Cytologic
and Histologic abnormalities at the NIH Natcher Center in September
2006. The electronic bulletin boards for discussing possible
modifications to the 2001 Consensus Guidelines are now open at
www.asccp.org.
It is important that the cytopathology community provides its input on
the bulletin board as to problems encountered during the last 5 years
with the guidelines. Your input will all us to make appropriate
modifications so that the 2006 Consensus Guidelines meets the needs of
everyone involved in the diagnosis and management of cervical disease.
