Role of Colposcopy in Cervical Precancer Management
"Did you know that early detection can save thousands of lives every year? Colposcopy is a key tool in detecting cervical precancer before it develops into something more serious."
What Is Colposcopy and Its Function?
Colposcopy is a non-invasive procedure used to examine the cervix and other areas such as the vulva or anus. This tool helps detect abnormalities invisible to the naked eye, particularly in cases of:
-
A suspicious-looking cervix
-
Symptoms indicative of cervical cancer (e.g., postcoital bleeding or persistent intermenstrual bleeding)
-
Cervical leukoplakia
-
Positive HPV test results or abnormal Pap smear results
-
Positive results from visual inspection using acetic acid (VIA) or Lugol's iodine (VILI)
With assured quality examinations, colposcopy has a high negative predictive value, making it a critical tool in screening and treating cervical precancer.
Key Points
-
Colposcopy is a diagnostic and assessment tool offering the best method to manage women suspected of cervical precancer.
-
Colposcopy exams should be conducted systematically and structured, always noting exam adequacy, the type and size of the transformation zone (TZ), and the level of abnormalities reflected in objective diagnostic scoring systems such as the Swede score.
-
With guaranteed quality, colposcopy examinations boast a high negative predictive value.
-
Excisional therapy for cervical precancer should always be guided by colposcopy.
