The<unk>  is prepared on separate areas of a single slide with three distinct samples, each from ectocervix, vagina and endocervix. Each sample occupies one-third of the glass slide. This method requires expertise as three samples need to be collected rapidly to avoid drying up of the<unk> .<unk>  is recommended in patients who had a previous abnormal<unk>  (or endometrial debris in previous<unk>  in a climacteric woman), in postmenopausal women, women with perimenopausal bleeding and those with high risk for endometrial carcinoma.
