Cryotherapy for HPV clearance in women with biopsy‐confirmed cervical low‐grade squamous intraepithelial lesions

Abstract: Cryotherapy failed to increase the clearance of prevalent HPV infections among women with LSIL, although in both arms the clearance rates were above 80%. However, in coupling with visual inspection with acetic acid as a single visit approach, its effect on prevention of HSIL and cervical cancer is still promising. Therefore, cryotherapy should not be withdrawn from such programs.

“…The Low risk genotype was not detected in any samples. In women, about 50% of new infections of most low-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions may disappear spontaneously within 12 months whereas the clearance rate in older women is lower (Chumworathayi et al, 2010). Approximately 1% of low-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions and 12% of high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions may progress to invasive cervical cancer and more than 90% of HR-HPV genotypes pose an increased risk for progression to cervical cancer.…”

“…One of the treatment effects with either cryotherapy or LEEP may be stimulation of the immune response, promoting clearance of HPV after treatment, even if the entire lesion or the entire transformation zone is not excised or ablated, although one small study failed to show an effect of cryotherapy on HPV clearance one year after treatment (Taylor 2010;Chumworathayi et al 2010).…”
