LBC is a new method of cervical cell sample preparation. Samples are collected [in a similar way to the standard Pap smear], but using a brush-like device rather than a spatula. The head of the device is rinsed or broken off into a vial of preservative fluid so that most or all of the cervical cells are retained. Samples are transported to the laboratory where they are mixed to disperse the cells. Cellular debris, such as blood or mucus, is removed and a thin layer of cervical cells is deposited on a microscope slide, which is then stained. 2, record 3, English, - liquid%2Dbased%20cytology

Toutes les méthodes de cytologie en milieu liquide ont pour principe commun de recueillir les cellules prélevées sur le col utérin dans un liquide conservateur qui les maintient dans un état morphologique aussi proche que possible de l'état frais et assure en outre l'élimination du sang et du mucus qui gênent souvent la lecture des frottis conventionnels. 4, record 3, French, - cytologie%20en%20milieu%20liquide

A set of ten recommendations promoting a number of behaviors intended to prevent cancers and cardiovascular diseases. 1, record 4, English, - European%20cancer%20code
Record number: 4, Textual support number: 1 OBS
The first six items of the Code relate to primary prevention: no smoking, moderate alcohol intake, no excessive exposure to sunlight, respect safety instructions, regular consumption of fresh fruits and vegetables as well as high-fiber foods, and avoid excessive body weight. The last four items concern secondary prevention. They recommend to see a physician in the case of a changing beauty spot, an appearing nodule, an abnormal blood loss, a persistent cough or hoarse voice, a persistent stool change or an unexplained loss of body weight. Women are advised to examine their breast regularly, to have a smear of the cervix uteri periodically, and to have mammographies taken as from the age of 50. 1, record 4, English, - European%20cancer%20code

Les six premiers points de ce code relèvent de la prévention primaire : ne pas fumer, modérer sa consommation d’alcool, éviter les expositions exagérées au soleil, respecter les prescriptions en matière de sécurité, consommer régulièrement des fruits et des légumes frais ainsi que des aliments riches en fibres, éviter l'excès de poids. Les quatre derniers points relèvent de la prévention secondaire. Il y est en effet conseillé de consulter un médecin en cas de changement d’aspect d’un grain de beauté, d’apparition d’un nodule, de perte de sang anormale, de toux ou de voix rauque persistante, de modifications persistantes des selles ou de perte de poids inexpliquée. Quant aux femmes, elles sont invitées à examiner régulièrement leurs seins, à se soumettre périodiquement à un frottis du col de l'utérus et à effectuer des mammographies à partir de 50 ans. 1, record 4, French, - code%20europ%C3%A9en%20contre%20le%20cancer
