JL Benedet
PMCID: PMC2280459  PMID: 21233966

Abstract

Cervical cancer screening programs have been one of the most important developments in women's health care during the past 50 years. Sound knowledge of the principles and techniques for taking Papanicolaou smears, interpreting results, and investigating abnormalities detected are essential skills for individuals providing primary health care to women. The author briefly reviews the current investigatory methods and the common treatments for cervical intraepithelial neoplasia and early invasive cancer of the cervix.

Keywords: cervical intraepithelial neoplasia, family medicine, gynecology, oncology
