In 1986, the British Society for Clinical Cytology (BSCC) published quantitative criteria to assist diagnosis in a three-tier grading system of squamous cell dyskaryosis. In dyskaryotic cells, area nuclear to cytoplasmic (NC) ratios below 50%, between 50% and 66% and over 66% were defined as equating with mild, moderate and severe grades respectively. Following the Terminology Conference in 2002, however, the BSCC recommended on their website that the three-tier model should be replaced by a new two-tier system of low- and high-grade squamous abnormalities. The latter broadly equate with the two-grade Bethesda System (TBS) for reporting squamous intraepithelial lesions. The purpose of this study was to assess the accuracy and reproducibility of the BSCC three-tier quantitative definitions, to investigate if they were applicable to liquid-based cytology (LBC) and to see how they related to the proposed new two-tier BSCC system.
