Author(s): Monika Singh* and Rujuta Fuke
Cervical cancer is a preventable disease. It is also curable if detected early and adequately treated. Yet it is the fourth most common cancer among
women globally. In India cervical cancer is the second most common cancer among women between 15 and 44 years of age. The most common
histologic type of cervical cancer is squamous, most common cause is by HPV infection. Cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) is a premalignant
condition of the uterine cervix. Various screening methods are available for diagnosis including Pap smear and colposcopic directed biopsy.
However, LEEP (Loop electrosurgical excision procedure) is used for treatment of CIN. Invasive cervical cancer has a long pre invasive phase and
hence early diagnosis and treatment can be done.
Objective: This is a prospective observational study of correlation between colposcopic d.. Read More»
