Laser conization of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia grade 3, Free resection margins indicative of lesion-free survival

Abstract: The presence of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia in the cone margin gives strong indication of potential treatment failure. In its absence laser conization is highly effective in the treatment of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia, and has the advantage of providing a specimen suitable for the necessary histological investigation.

“…We found, as might be expected, that the probability of being persistence/recurrence-free was significantly higher in the margin-negative cases than in margin-positive ones (p = 0.007 by log-rank test), and this result was quite consistent with that of a previous study [7]. When we looked only at CIN cases which had passed their first test for being cured (those that had a normal cervical cytology at some point during the initial 3-month follow-up, regardless of whether they were judged margin negative or margin positive), we again found that the recurrence-free probability was significantly lower in margin-positive cases than in margin-negative cases (hazard ratio 5.19; 95% CI, 1.175-22.994; p = 0.0041 by log-rank test).…”

“…However, others have found that the resection margin of CIN lesions produced by LEEP, cold knife, or laser was demonstrated to be able to aid in predicting the subsequent recurrence of CIN 3 [7,8]. According to Chen et al, the persistence/recurrence rate of margin-positive cases, 33% (47/141 cases), was significantly higher than that of the margin-negative cases, 2% (21/972 cases) (p \ 0.0001 by Fisher's exact test).…”

“…However, it is only recently that LEEP has become the mainstay of treatment of CIN 2 and 3, and the status of the excised tissue is more commonly being included in the histopathology reports (21,49). This topic has been extensively reviewed recently in the Survey (50) Involved margins are accepted as a risk factor for recurrent CIN (51)(52)(53). Other studies found that margin status is not an independent factor for residual disease (48,54).…”
