ROLE OF CYTOLOGY, COLPOSCOPY AND COLPOSCOPIC DIRECTED BIOPSIES IN THE EVALUATION OF UNHEALTHY CERVIX

Bandhavi Lagisetti

Abstract :

 

Worldwide, cervical cancer is both the fourth–most common cause of cancer and the fourth–most common cause of death from cancer in women low–income countries. Cancer cervix is the most frequent of all genital tract cancers.Invasive cancer of cervix is considered to be a preventable condition, since it is associated with long pre–invasive stage (CIN) making it amenable to screening and treatment.The Papanicolaou’s (Pap) smear is the primary screening tool for Cervical Intra–epithelial Neoplasia (CIN) and for invasive cancer of the uterine cervix.The simultaneous use of cytological studies and screening colposcopy has been shown to increase the rate of the cervical cancer detection. Hence, there is an obvious need to subject the women with clinically unhealthy cervix to colposcopy and directed biopsy.

Present study correlates the findings in women with unhealthy cervix by cytology, colposcopy and colposcopic directed biopsies and to assess the utility of colposcopy in detecting the premalignant and malignant lesions of the cervix.
