Abstract
Abstract: Cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) 2-3, a premalignant lesion usually treated by Loop Electrosurgical Excision Procedure (LEEP) in nonpregnant women, is addressed differently in pregnant women.Data from 2006 to 2023 on 178 pregnant women with CIN 2-3 were provided by the Israeli Society of Colposcopy. Sixty-seven underwent LEEP within 15 weeks of gestation with only minor complications. Of the 57 continuing pregnancies, 53 (93%) delivered at term, 2 (3.5%) at 34-37 weeks, and 2 (3.5%) experienced missed abortions. One hundred eleven women were followed through pregnancy without LEEP. Of that group, 5 women were lost to follow-up. From 173 women on whom we have follow-up data, 9 (5.2%) were finally diagnosed with cervical cancer, 132 women (76.3%) remained CIN 2-3, and 32 women (18.5%) were CIN 1 or normal.Loop Electrosurgical Excision Procedure (LEEP) performed within the first 15 weeks of pregnancy in 67 women was safe. In 5.2% of pregnant women with CIN 2-3, the final diagnosis was invasive cancer.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Lower Genital Tract Disease is the source for the latest science about benign and malignant conditions of the cervix, vagina, vulva, and anus.
The Journal publishes peer-reviewed original research original research that addresses prevalence, causes, mechanisms, diagnosis, course, treatment, and prevention of lower genital tract disease. We publish clinical guidelines, position papers, cost-effectiveness analyses, narrative reviews, and systematic reviews, including meta-analyses. We also publish papers about research and reporting methods, opinions about controversial medical issues. Of particular note, we encourage material in any of the above mentioned categories that is related to improving patient care, avoiding medical errors, and comparative effectiveness research. We encourage publication of evidence-based guidelines, diagnostic and therapeutic algorithms, and decision aids. Original research and reviews may be sub-classified according to topic: cervix and HPV, vulva and vagina, perianal and anal, basic science, and education and learning.
The scope and readership of the journal extend to several disciplines: gynecology, internal medicine, family practice, dermatology, physical therapy, pathology, sociology, psychology, anthropology, sex therapy, and pharmacology. The Journal of Lower Genital Tract Disease highlights needs for future research, and enhances health care.
The Journal of Lower Genital Tract Disease is the official journal of the American Society for Colposcopy and Cervical Pathology, the International Society for the Study of Vulvovaginal Disease, and the International Federation of Cervical Pathology and Colposcopy, and sponsored by the Australian Society for Colposcopy and Cervical Pathology and the Society of Canadian Colposcopists.
