Hola a todos:
Estoy traduciendo un protocolo de ginecología sobre la infección por el virus del papiloma humano y tengo una duda con la traducción al inglés de "frotis cervical" y de la oración en la que se encuentra este término. ¿Me podríais echar una mano? ¡Gracias!
"El diagnóstico de la infección VPH se basa en la detección de DNA o RNA virales o de proteína de la cápside viral. Hoy disponemos de pruebas que detectan el DNA de varios tipos de VPH de células del frotis cervical que están indicadas en..."
He encontrado varias posibles traducciones para "frotis cervical", pero realmente no sé muy bien cuál es la mejor:
-Cervical smear
-Cervical smear test (es la opción que me parece más apropiada, pero tengo mis dudas)
-Smear test
-Squash technique
Además, no estoy muy satisfecha con la traducción que he hecho de la oración en la que nos encontramos con este término:
Nowadays we have methods that detect the DNA of several HPV types from the cells of the [cervical smear (test)]. These methods are indicated in...
¡Gracias de antemano!

The Test Sample
What is being tested?
A Pap smear is a test used to detect abnormal or potentially abnormal cells from the vagina and uterine cervix. Various bacterial, fungal, and viral infections of the uterus may also be detected using this test.
How is the sample collected for testing?
The conventional method consists of sampling cells from the cervical area. The sample is obtained using a type of wooden “spatula,” cotton swab, or brush. Relatively new liquid-based methods are available that are modifications of the conventional Pap smear. The specimen is collected as noted above, but is not “smeared” onto a glass slide. Rather, it is put into a special liquid preservative. This cell suspension is processed onto a glass slide, stained, and examined.
NOTE: If undergoing medical tests makes you or someone you care for anxious, embarrassed, or even difficult to manage, you might consider reading one or more of the following articles: Coping with Test Pain, Discomfort, and Anxiety, Tips on Blood Testing, Tips to Help Children through Their Medical Tests, and Tips to Help the Elderly through Their Medical Tests.
Another article, Follow That Sample, provides a glimpse at the collection and processing of a blood sample and throat culture.
Is any test preparation needed to ensure the quality of the sample?
You may be instructed not to douche or tub bathe during the 24 hours before the Pap smear is to be performed. You may also be asked to refrain from sexual intercourse for 24 to 48 hours before the test.

Dr. Jason Faulkner
: The PAP (papaniculou) smear is a specific test.

the PAP smear investigates hormonal changes and characteristics of cervical and vaginal cells (class I, III, III, dysplasia, etc)

Reference:
It may make more sense were you to put
cells FROM the cervical smear
(I am not shouting at you :-) )
