How Likely Clinically Suspicious Looking Cervix is Cervical Cancer?

Ying Yiing Lou, Sahathevan Sathiyathasan

Clinically suspicious looking cervix does not always mean cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) or cervical cancer but it can be caused by other benign and inflammatory conditions. It was recommended that the patients should be initially seen urgently in the general gynaecology clinic rather than in the colposcopy unit because most of them will not have cancer. Consideration should be taken into account in those women who have risk factors for cervical cancer especially postcoidal bleeding (PCB).
