Scraping/smear

This is a bit of a long shot, but if "utsk" is "utstyck" (smear) could "Ass" refer to scraping? See below text dealing with cervical cancer and its diagnosis.
Example sentence:

"Cancern detektera med avskrapningar och utstryck (pap smears)."

Just a suggestion. I can't find a reference to corroborate this abbreviation at the moment. Also no suggestions for the 'Ass' I'm afraid.

Probably too late, but I wonder whether Ass is aspirate?
