Correlation of colposcopy and histology findings in pre-clinical neoplasia of the cervix.
The histology findings of pre-clinical neoplasia of the cervix at cone biopsy were compared with the previous colposcopic assessment in fifty-eight patients. In 84.5% of cases colposcopy prediction was within one grade of the histology findings. This close correlation is important where suitability for local ablative therapy depends on accurate colposcopic assessment prior to tissue destruction.
