Abstract:
Cervical cancer of gynecologic cancer is considered a preventable disease because it has a long preventive state, cervical cytology screening programs are currently available, and treatment of precancerous lesions is effective. Proper management of precancerous disease is important because improper management of precancerous disease can increase risk of invasive cancer on the one hand and can result in complications from overtreatment on the other. The decision as to which therapeutic option to use in an individual patient depends on considerations such as patient age, parity, desire for future childbearing, preferences, prior cytology and treatment history, and history of default from follow-up, operator experience, and nonvisualization of the transformation zone.
