[Diagnosis and therapy of CIN in pregnant women].
BACKGROUND
CIN is the most frequent neoplasm in pregnancy. At present, in Italy, Pap test and colposcopy are not included in routine examinations in prenatal visits.


METHODS
In this study, we submitted 560 pregnant women to Pap test during prenatal visits. In case of abnormal or doubtful smears a colposcopy and target biopsy were performed.


RESULTS
Of the 560 women studied, 124 had genital bleeding and the other 436 were asymptomatic. Six cases of CIN symptomatic women and 5 cases in the asymptomatic ones. In no cases we thought necessary a therapeutic operation. We limited the therapy to a follow-up.


CONCLUSIONS
In our opinion, it is necessary to treat CIN during pregnancy.
