COLPOSCOPY
• Accuracy of Colposcopy• Histopathologic basis for false negative and
false positive colposcopic impressions• Ramifications both clinical and scientific of
using the iron (rather than gold) standard of colposcopically directed biopsy for ≥CIN 2
• P.O.I. 5-biopsy standard

POOR CLINICAL DECISIONS FROM USING A COLPOSCOPIC DIRECTED BIOPSY ‘GOLD
STANDARD’ FOR ≥CIN 2
1. Q 6-month follow-up of women with colposcopic diagnosis of ≤CIN 1
Not a good plan as many women are lost to follow-up
Pretorius RG et al.Am J Obstet Gynecol 2006;195(5):1260-5
2. Performing LEEP or cone on a young woman with CIN 2 to avoid missing CIN 3Many women with CIN 2 will resolve their infections without treatment, so if you knew the diagnosis was CIN 2, you might follow them.
ACOG Committee Opinion #330 Obstet Gynecol 2006;107:963-8
POOR SCIENCTIFIC CONCLUSIONS FROM USING A COLPOSCOPIC DIRECTED BIOPSY ‘GOLD
STANDARD’ FOR ≥CIN 2
1. CIN is more frequent on the anterior lip of the cervix.Though colposcopically detected lesions are more common on the
anterior lip, CIN (and microinvasive squamous cervical cancer) are radially distributed on the cervix.
Pretorius RG et al. J Lower Genital Tract Disease 2006;10:45-50
2. The sensitivity of acetic acid aided visual inspection (VIA) for ≥CIN2 is about 65%.
VIA and colposcopy are correlated (ie. they detect and miss many of the same lesions). When colposcopy is the ‘gold-standard’ in VIA screening studies, the sensitivity of VIA for ≥CIN 2 (and ≥CIN 3) is inflated. The actual sensitivity of VIA for ≥CIN 2 is closer to 45%.
