Abstract:
OBJECTIVE: The treatment of intraepithelial neoplasia and microinvasive cervical cancer ranges from local destruvtive methods to total hysterectomy. The conservative treatment has increased as more lesions are being detected in young women. METHODS: This study was designed to compare the 112 microinvasive cervical cancer treatment reliability, efficacy, and safety of cold knife conization (23), electric conizer (31), and largr loop (58). RESULTS: The mean age for cold cone, conizer, and LEEP were 41.1, 41.4, and 42.2 years old. The parity for cold cone, conizer and LEEP were 3.1, 2.1, and 2.7 siblings. Resection margine involved pathologic finding were 47.8%, 54.8%, and 74.1% (P<0.05). After hysterectomy, residual disease for cold cone, conizer and LEEP were 1, 24, and 30 cases CONCLUSION: The results suggest that LEEP is quicker, safer, and lower cost than cold knife conization for the management of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia and micro invasive cancer.
