Risk of cervical and other cancers after treatment of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia: retrospective cohort study.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To study the long term risk of cervical and other cancers after treatment for cervical intraepithelial neoplasia.

Design

Retrospective cohort study.

Setting

University Hospital, Helsinki, Finland.

Participants

7564 women treated for cervical intraepithelial neoplasia during 1974 and 2001 and followed up through the Finnish cancer registry until 2003.

Main outcome measures

Standardised incidence ratio for cervical cancer and other cancers.

Results

During follow-up 22 cases of invasive cervical cancer occurred in women treated for cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (standardised incidence ratio 2.8, 95% confidence interval 1.7 to 4.2). The highest risk was during the second decade (10 cases observed: 3.1, 1.5 to 5.7). The standardised inci
