1. Minimal conization with carbon dioxide laser for treatment of cervical intra-epithelial neoplasia
Abstract : 3,100 non-pregnant women and 85 pregnants were miniconized during the 15-year period ending 1994 . The outpatient procedure of minimal conization using a freehand-guided, high power 60W carbon dioxide laser focused to 0.1 mm in spot-size, giving high power density 165,000 W/cm2, produces single-piece tissue specimens for histological examination.

2. Suggested next steps to prevent cervical cancer after surgical treatment for high-grade cervical dysplasia
Abstract : The risk of cervical cancer among women treated for high-grade cervical dysplasia is more than twofold compared with the general population, and this risk remains elevated for over two decades. In Sweden, cervical cancer incidence is rising again and the risk of cervical cancer among women with a prior history of high-grade cervical dysplasia has increased since the 1960s. READ MORE

3. HPV genotyping and potential progression markers in cervical intraepithelial neoplasia : clinical and diagnostic impact
Abstract : The aim of this thesis is to identify clinically useful early molecular markers to predict progression to carcinoma in women with preinvasive lesions of the cervix, for the purpose of improving care of these women and enabling more individualized treatment. In order to define the human papillomavirus (HPV) types in minor cytological abnormalities, 343 liquid-based cytology (LBC) samples with atypical squamous cells of uncertain significance (ASCUS) and with low-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions (LSIL) were genotyped using Linear Array.

4. Carcinoma of the uterine cervix: aspects on preoperative staging and assessment of treatment effect using magnetic resonance imaging
Abstract : Background: Uterine CC mainly affects young women as it is caused by persistent HPV infection most often acquired during adolescence. Early-stage disease is treated with surgery, and locally advanced disease with chemoradiotherapy. Both treatment methods are associated with infertility and morbidity. READ MORE

5. Tissue tumor marker expression in normal cervical tissue and in cervical intraepithelial neoplasia, for women who are at high risk of human papilloma virus infection, are smokers, contraceptive users or in fertile age
Abstract : The aim of this research was to study the correlation between tissue tumor marker expression and HR-HPV infection, smoking, hormonal contraceptive use and sex steroids in women with cervical intraepithelial neoplasia or normal epithelium. The study investigated the expression of 11 tumor markers in cervical biopsies obtained from 228 women with different diagnoses ranging from normal cervical epithelium to various stages of CIN.
