“…Las intervencio- nes diagnósticas como la colposcopia deben realizarse por personal altamente capacitado, ya que los cambios fisiológicos asociados al embarazo pueden dificultar el diagnóstico (4,8) La biopsia de lesiones sospechosas es una intervención necesaria y aceptable y debe realizarse bajo visualización colposcópica. El inicio del tratamiento del carcinoma invasor del cérvix debe basarse en la edad gestacional al momento del diagnóstico (7,9,10).…”

RESUMENObjetivo. Determinar la prevalencia de displasia cervical en mujeres embarazadas. Método. Estudio observacional, longitudinal, prospectivo, en el cual se analizaron los resultados de 250 pacientes embarazadas que acudieron a control prenatal en el Hospital Universitario "Dr. José Eleuterio González", Monterrey, Nuevo León, México, en el período enero 2007 a julio de 2008. Resultados. Se analizaron 36 citologías anormales (14,4%), las cuales reportaron ASCUS 3,2% (n=8), LIEBG 8% (n=20), LIEAG 2,4% (n=6) y CaCu 0,8% (n=2). La prevalencia de displasia cervical confirmada por biopsia fue 5,6% (n=14). Conclusiones. Se recomienda realizar la citología cervical a toda paciente embarazada, para la detección y tratamiento oportuno de las displasias cervicales.PALABRAS CLAVE: Citología cervical, displasias cervicales, cáncer cérvicouterino, embarazo, control prenatal SUMMARYObjective. To evaluate the prevalence of cervical dysplasia among pregnant women. Method. We conducted an observational, longitudinal, prospective study, that analyzed the results of 250 cervical smears of pregnant patients that attended the Obstetrics consult of the University Hospital in Monterrey, Mexico, between January 2007 and July 2008. Results: 36 abnormal smears were analyzed (14.4%). Showing ASCUS in 3.2% (n=8), LSIL in 8% (n=20), HSIL in 2.4% (n=6) and AIS in 0.8% (n=2). The prevalence of cervical dysplasia confirmed by biopsy was 5.6% (n=14). Conclusions: We recommend performing cervical smears to all pregnant women for detection and appropriate treatment of cervical dysplasia.

“…Care should be taken performing biopsies; substantial bleeding may occur, with a reported risk of hemorrhage of 1 in 100 (Massad, Wright, Cox, Twiggs, & Wilkinson, 2005). Several other studies report that punch biopsies performed in all trimesters were not associated with increased risk of bleeding (Brown, Berran, et al, 2005; Siddiq, Twigg, & Hammond, 2006). Because the risk of malignancy in pregnancy is small, a conservative approach should be the rule, unless invasive disease is present (Siddiq et al).…”

There are many barriers to screening and prevention for cervical cancer in vulnerable populations. Newer technologies with HPV testing have helped to identify those women at highest risk for cervical cancer. Implementing strategies among healthcare providers to avoid missed opportunities for screening, assessment and education of risk factors, and offering vaccination against HPV are needed. Empowering women may begin to reduce disparities through the development of educational programs that reduce cultural and linguistic barriers to screening and awareness that socioeconomic factors may be impediments to care and adherence.
