Women who did not undergo electrocoagulation of the uterine cervix had significantly higher risks of invasive carcinoma, carcinoma in situ, and dysplasia compared to those who did.

Abstract

In Finland an organized mass screening program covers the total female population. Based on the material (429,832) from a nationwide mass screening registry it was estimated that the female population not subjected to electrocoagulation of the uterine cervix (362,511) had a sixfold risk of frankly invasive carcinoma, a fourfold risk of carcinoma in situ or dysplasia of high degree, and a twofold risk of dysplasia of low degree as compared with the female population subjected to electrocoagulation of the uterine cervix (67,321). The relative risk of cervical lesion varied by cytologic diagnosis, marital status, and Trichomonas vaginalis.
