Smear that shows moderate inflammatory changes
Explanation:
There is not such thing as a 'moderately inflammatory frotis/smear'. Instead, there are smears/frotis that reveal or show inflammatory findings or changes.

In any language, diagnosis has to be as accurate as possible. Although in Spanish \'FROTIS MODERADAMENTE INFLAMATORIO\' is acceptable, in English, it suggests that the smear could potentially cause moderate inflammation (if used inappropraitely). Since smears should not cause inflammation because their purpose is to serve as diagnostic tools, it is better to use a few more words and be accurate.

Moderately inflammatory smear


Explanation:
It is known that before cancer develops, there are 'early warning' changes which are detectable by taking a smear (sample). Once detected, the progression to cancer can be halted with the appropriate treatment.
