Background: Cancer screening is simple and may be performed in pre-invasive phases, allowing for conservative and effective care of these lesions by chemoradiotherapy or surgery. The purpose of the current study was to examine the various techniques for identifying and screening cervical cancer pre-invasive lesions, including colposcopy, pap smear, visual cervix examination with iodine and acetic acid, and visual cervix examination with Lugol's iodine. Materials and Procedures: Following the taking of a medical history, 80 females between the ages of 20 and 60 had a colposcope, pap smear, acetic acid, and Lugol's iodine cervix examination. The statistical analysis of the acquired data was performed, and the findings were developed using a significance level of 0.05. Results: Only 2.5% (n=2) subjects had cervix with no abnormality, whereas 56.25% (n=45) females had cervicitis, 22.5% (n=18) subjects had Intraepithelial carcinoma-1, 16.25% (n=13) had Intraepithelial carcinoma-2/3, and 2 (2.5%) subjects had confirmed Micro invasive carcinoma using Lugol's iodine and acetic acid with a visual examination, pap smear, and colposcopy. Conclusion: According to the study, using pap smear cytology, visual inspection, and colposcopy together increases the likelihood of finding pre-invasive and invasive lesions. |
