Sažetak
There are numerous bioethical dilemmas in all branches of medicine and in cervical cytology as well. While taking a sample for cytologic analysis, the patient must be well informed about the method of sample taking and the ¬diagnostic accuracy of the examination in order to give her consent. For the methods used as screening tests, such as cytodiagnostics of the cervical epithelium, the consent can be obtained on the basis of informed consent based on the ¬relevant knowledge. Bioethical problems in cytology are specific. While performing a screening test, the cythologist does not have a direct contact with the patient and her documentation. The process of informed consent concerns the ¬patient and the physician taking a sample.
