Is cervical precancerous lesion cervical cancer?

The main cause of cervical cancer is HPV infection, but this process is long. That is to say, it takes a relatively long time for HPV infection to develop into precancerous lesions, namely CIN, and it also takes a long time for CIN to develop into cancer. This provides me with the opportunity to detect cervical cancer early, and even detect and receive timely treatment before it becomes cancerous. This is the ideal state for most patients.

Generally speaking, CIN is divided into three grades according to the severity of the lesion, namely CIN I, II, and III.

First of all, I want to say that if you are infected with HPV virus, you will not definitely develop CIN. Only some people will develop it, and it depends on your physical condition.

Secondly, the presence of CIN does not necessarily mean that it will develop into cervical cancer. It should be said that 3/4 of patients will not even continue to develop, only a very small number of patients will continue to develop, and a very small number of patients will develop into cancer.

Therefore, we have plenty of time to treat precancerous lesions. For CINI and II, physical therapy is sufficient, but for CINIII, surgical treatment is necessary, specifically, at least cone biopsy. For patients who undergo cone biopsy, there are two purposes: one is to make a clear diagnosis and exclude hidden cervical cancer, and the other is treatment. For true CINIII, cone biopsy is sufficient, but for those who do not have fertility requirements but are near menopause, hysterectomy is also feasible.
