A screening for a uterine cervix carcinoma is entering a new era. Instead of searching for abnormal pathological changes in the cells of uterine cervix, more and more frequently we are looking for factors evoking these changes, i. e. oncogenic types of HPV. In this way we are swiftly running away from a screening based on a cytology and colposcopy towards the one which depends on hybridization tests. One should, however, remember that screening conducted in this manner allows indeed for a precise distinguishing of a group of women with a risk of becoming ill from cervical carcinoma, but both the colposcopy and cytology are essential for establishing a proper strategy in a clinical management. It is difficult to imagine that only a fact of the infection of the uterine cervix epithelium with papilloma viruses, without morphological abnormałities detected in the epithelium, would be an indication for cervix treatment. At present, we are witnessing an intense development of modern techniques in the colposcopy. Proposals to improve the colposcopy are aiming at rendering objective an inspection of colposcopy images and enhancing a precision of diagnosis. However, the mentioned techniques are not available for each gynecologist.
