Abstract

Electrocautery was the only therapy in 148 patients with cervical intraepithelial neoplasia diagnosed by colposcopically guided biopsy. The disease was completely eradicated, as demonstrated by subsequent cytologic and/or histo-Iogic studies, in 92% of the patients and no invasive cancer was found. Excellent correlation between abnormal cytology and persistent intraepithelial neoplasia was demonstrated during followup. The criteria for selecting electrocauterization in the outpatient treatment of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia were discussed.
