Abstract

The aim of this study was to evaluate Photodynamic Diagnosis (PDD) effectiveness among patients with cervical lesions and comparison to effectiveness of colposcopy.68 patients with cervical lesions underwent cytologic examination, colposcopy and PDD which were followed by histologic examination.In 41 patients with Pap smear gr. II or IV the result of Pap smear, colposcopy, PDD and histologic result were correlated. Among 27 patients with Pap smear gr. III the conformity of the final pathologic result with colposcopic examination was 55.6% and positive fluorescent effect during PDD was 63% in patients with Pap smear gr. III.The efficacy, specificity and sensitivity of PDD are similar to those of colposcopy in diagnosis of Pap smear gr. III patients.
