- Abstract
Preinvasive cervical lesions have a long period of evolution towards cervical cancer, therefore their early detection and treatment, along with anti-HPV vaccination, are a necessity in preventing the occurrence of invasive cervical cancer. Genital HPV infection is the most common sexually transmitted infection. The objective of the study was to establish the prediction of the cervicovaginal cyto-tumor examination and the colposcopic examination for cervical dysplastic lesions and the histopathological examination of the fragments obtained by cervical biopsy, as well as the reevaluation of the histopathological diagnosis of certainty of dysplastic lesions, in the context of the increased incidence of cervical cancer in our country. Cervicovaginal cyto-tumor examination and colposcopic examination had a good correlation with the histopathological diagnosis of the biopsied cervical fragment in cases where they were concordant. In case of discordant cytological and colposcopic results, cervical biopsy with histopathological examination establishes the diagnosis of certainty. Since the incidence of cervical cancer is high in our country, the biopsy with histopathological examination is necessary to establish the diagnosis of dysplastic lesions and the subsequent therapeutic behavior.
