Colposcopic appearance of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia is age dependent

Article Abstract:

Cervical lesions in women over 35 are thinner and more difficult to detect than lesions in younger women. Cervical intraepithelial neoplasia is a change in cervical tissue that sometimes precedes the development of cervical cancer. Researchers examined 967 women colposcopically and performed biopsies and other diagnostic tests on women with suspect lesions. Twice as many cervical lesions were precancerous in women over 35, compared to younger women. Cervical lesions of trivial significance in older women should be biopsied to reduce the number of missed precancerous changes.

Colposcopically directed biopsy, random cervical biopsy, and endocervical curettage in the diagnosis of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia II or worse

Article Abstract:

The relative importance of colposcopically directed biopsy, random biopsy and endocervical curettage (ECC) in diagnosing greater than or equal to cervical intra-epithelial neoplasia (CIN) II is determined. It is found that random biopsies of the cervix might be helpful in the detection of CIN II or worse in patients with high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions (HGSIL) or cancer cytology and negative colposcopy.

Subsequent risk and presentation of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) 3 or cancer after a colposcopic diagnosis of CIN 1 or less

Article Abstract:

The risk and presentation of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) 3 or cancer after colposcopic diagnosis of CIN 1 or less is determined. Annual cytology and high-risk human papillomavirus (HPV) tests with colposcopy for high-risk HPV test positive/abnormal cytology and at least every 2 years for high-risk HPV test positive/normal cytology is advised after a colposcopic diagnosis of CIN 1 or less.
