ABSTRACT
Background: Cervical cancer is the second most commoncancer among women in Bangladesh where CIN is theforerunner. Visual inspection of cervix with acetic acid (VIA) isadopted as national cervical cancer screening programme inBangladesh. All positive VIA cases are evaluated bycolposcopy.Objective: This population-based study was conducted inFaridpur Medical College Hospital for 6 years (2013 - 2018) toevaluate the prevalence of CIN among the VIA positive casesand performance of the clinic for colposcopic management ofCIN.Materials and Methods: A total of 2102 VIA positive caseswere evaluated by colposcopy during the study period.International Federation of Cervical Pathology and Colposcopy(IFCPC) 2011 nomenclature was used for colposcopicdiagnosis. Diagnosed CIN were treated accordingly.Results: During the study period, 548 (26.1%) cases werecolposcopically diagnosed as CIN. Among them, 370 (65.5%)were low grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (CIN-I) and 178(32.5%) were high grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (CINII and III). Colposcopicaly diagnosed 237 (64.1%) of low gradesquamous intraepithelial lesion (LSIL) and 132 (74.2 %) of highgrade squamous intraepithelial lesion (HSIL) casesreceived treatment and histopathological confirmation.Treatment produces were used like thermocoagulation, LoopElectrosurgical Excision Procedure (LEEP), biopsy,hysterectomy and post treatment follow up.Conclusion: From this study, we got information about thedemography and prevalence of CIN among VIA positive casesat the same time management of CIN to prevent invasivecervical cancer. We adopted ‘See and treat’ protocol formanagement, which is well accepted, feasible and useful inBangladesh.
