Natural History of Low-Grade Squamous Intraepithelial Lesion

Abstract: Of the patients who were diagnosed with CIN1 and monitored by colposcopy for 60 months, 34% had disease regression, 55% had persistent disease, and 11% had progressive disease. HPV DNA testing is more informative than the Pap test in the prediction of disease progression.

“…This progression rate of 14.5% seems high, given that Saw et al. 19 have observed a progression rate of 11% for CIN1 lesions over a follow‐up of 60 months, in a study on the natural history of CIN lesions without treatment. A possible explanation of the fact that our progression rate did not diminish with treatment is the use of a single‐freeze technique, according to national policy, whereas in other study protocols a double‐freeze technique has been used.…”

“…There are 2 possibilities for the development of LSIL, which are: experiencing regression or progressing to HSIL. Observation of LSIL for 5 years showed 10.7% progressed to HSIL, 55% experienced persistence and 34.2% regressed to normal (Saw et al, 2001). In the old pap smear reading system, there are 3 main categories of cervical precancerous lesions, namely CIN I, II and III.…”
