Progression of 189 women diagnosed with uterine cervical dysplasia based on abnormal results in mass screening.

Abstract

During the five-year period from January 1997 to December 2001, cytological abnormalities in the uterine cervix were confirmed in 189 women (class IIIa: 172, class IIIb: 9, class IV: 7, and class V: 1) who underwent cytology screening of the uterine cervix at the Tokai University Health Evaluation and Promotion Center. Biopsy samples from the uterine cervix showed that the 172 women categorized into class IIIa based on cytology included 28 with no atypical lesions, 53 with mild dysplasia, 24 with moderate dysplasia, 3 with severe dysplasia; and the 9 women in class IIIb included 2 with mild dysplasia, 5 with moderate dysplasia, 1 with carcinoma in situ, and 1 with invasive carcinoma. The conformity rates between the cytology data and the biopsy samples were 71.3% and 11.1% in class IIIa and class IIIb, respectively. A three-year followup survey of the class IIIa and class IIIb subjects confirmed progression (PRO) in 8 (4.7%), continuous (CON) symptoms in 48 (27.9%), and regression (REG) in 116 (67.4%) in class IIIa, and PRO, CON and REG in 3 (33.3%), 4 (44.4%), and 2 (22.2%), respectively, in class IIIb; the percentage of subjects in the CON+REG group was significantly higher than in the PRO group (p = 0.0052). Twelve subjects underwent resection because uterine carcinoma was suspected in the punch biopsy; these subjects have remained under observation and have now made a complete recovery. Our results suggest that patients with uterine abnormal cells should undergo regular cytology and colposcopy for detection of high-risk patients and to allow treatment at an early stage.
