The outcome is either progression, regression or no change after 2 years - all assessed by colposcopy, smear and biopsy.
Timepoint [3] 258926 0
24 months
Secondary outcome [1] 264988 0
The correlation of CIN 2 with immunohistochemical parameters: P16, Proex, Ki67, HPV typing will be assessed.

Summary
Brief summary
Cervical intraepithelial neoplasia 1, 2 or 3 is the term used to describe a range of cellular changes on the cervix that over time can regress to normal or progress to cervical cancer. Cervical cancers are usually preceded by a long phase of preinvasive disease. Evidence has shown that there is a 43% likelihood of regression of CIN 2, a 35% likelihood of persistence of CIN 2 and a 20% probability of progression to CIN 3. Evidence in adolescents has shown an even higher rate of regression. The current treatment for this abnormality is a LLETZ biopsy of the cervix. This treatment is associated with complications in future pregnancies – premature rupture of membranes and preterm labour. Because of the high regression rate and pregnancy complications, young women, up to age 25, with biopsy proven CIN 2 at Christchurch and Dunedin Hospitals will be offered inclusion in the study. This will involve 6 monthly colposcopy clinic visits where a cervical smear, biopsy and tests for HPV, Proex, P16, Ki67 as opposed to immediate surgical management. If there is progression of this change to CIN 3 throughout follow-up a LLETZ will be offered. Follow-up is for 24 months – if the CIN 2 abnormality persists, LLETZ will be offered.
