  2. Biopsy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biopsy

    An incisional biopsy or core biopsy samples a portion of the abnormal tissue without attempting to remove the entire lesion or tumor. When a sample of tissue or fluid is removed with a needle in such a way that cells are removed without preserving the histological architecture of the tissue cells, the procedure is called a needle aspiration ...

    Cervical conization refers to an excision of a cone-shaped portion of tissue from the mucous membrane of the cervix.

  6. Endocervical curettage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Endocervical_curettage

    Endocervical curettage is a medical procedure used to extract cells of the endocervix to visualize under a microscope. Direct cervical visualization, colposcopy, and even endocervical colposcopy are not enough to fully analyze all areas of the endocervical epithelium and thus endocervical curettage is the method of choice in cases where this is necessary.

  7. Cervical cancer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cervical_cancer

    Cervical cancer typically develops from precancerous changes called cervical intraepithelial neoplasia over 10 to 20 years. [3] About 90% of cervical cancer cases are squamous cell carcinomas, 10% are adenocarcinoma, and a small number are other types. [4] Diagnosis is typically by cervical screening followed by a biopsy. [2]

  8. Cervical screening - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cervical_screening

    Some of the follow-up options include surveillance, histological diagnosis via colposcopy/biopsy, or removal of the abnormal tissue via an ablative or surgical method. [2] The World Health Organization outlines two different approaches to cervical screening and follow-up. They are the Screen and Treat; and the Screen, Triage and Treat.

  9. Carcinoma in situ - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carcinoma_in_situ

    Cervical squamous intraepithelial lesion (SIL), previously called cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN), is a form of dysplasia that can progress to cervical cancer. The term carcinoma in situ may be used interchangeably with high-grade SIL. [8] Ductal carcinoma in situ of the breast is the most common precancer in women.
