Abstract EN
Aims.
Worldwide, cervical cancer is the fifth most deadly cancer in women, but screening prevents cancer by detecting precancerous lesions.
The purpose of this study is to present the treatment profile for precancerous lesions of the uterine cervix, according to demographic data.
Methods.
An annual retrospective study was conducted in two public primary health care centres in Greece.
The total number of Pap smears and colposcopies performed as well as the management of women with cervical intraepithelial neoplasia was collected and analysed.
Results.
Demographic characteristics and correlations with levels of Cervical Intraepithelial Neoplasia (CIN) and treatment path are presented.
For each case, we noted the patients' age, the marital and educational status, and the professional and insurance type.
From a total of 238 diagnostic procedures, 118 (49.5%) showed precancerous lesions, 83.3% of these were high grade while 16.7% were low grade.
Conclusions.
This study provides an estimate of the extensiveness of precancerous lesions of the uterine cervix.
Management of CIN should be accounted for when balancing the benefits and unfavourable effects of this screening.
