Should women have grade 2 cervical intraepithelial cancer treated with large loop excision or should they just be kept under surveillance?
A Danish study sought to find out. Women who had CIN 2 diagnosed between the ages of 18-40 were followed up from 1998 to 2020. The study involved 27.5 thousand women.
The cumulative risk for cervical cancer was only 2.65% but women who had had the loop excision biopsy were four times less likely to get cervical cancer.
