THE MANAGEMENT OF CIN
wprendiville
The management of CIN
• Should read The management of
women with CIN
• Should never be dictated by an
individual test result, even histology
• Should incorporate all the case
characteristics
• Is a balance of benefit vs harm
How to safely treat CIN3
• Safely means
– Reducing the risk of cervical cancer to
almost zero
– Reducing the side effects of treatment to
as low as possible
The management of CIN3
• Will always include
– Pre-treatment counselling
• Need for Rx, risks of Rx, need for follow up
monitoring by cytology/HPV/Colposcopy
– Assessment of all the case characteristics
• Age, parity, future fertility, likelihood of default,
cytology, histology, HPV status and other
biomarkers where known.
Safe treatment of CIN3
• Will always mean
– A preliminary colposcopic examination
• By a trained colposcopist
• Documenting specific findings
– If excisional, Rx will be colposcopically
guided
– Eradication of the entire TZ
– Sufficient tissue for histology to rule out
invasive or associated GIN
Safe treatment of CIN3
• Will sometimes mean
– That excision is necessary
– Removal of a relatively large amount of
cervical tissue
– An associated increased risk of pre-term
labour
Safe treatment of CIN3
• May sometimes
– Be performed at the first / assessment visit
– Be performed using a destructive method
– Be performed under general anaesthesia
– Be deferred
Choice of treatment for CIN
EXCISIONAL DESTRUCTIVE
Hysterectomy Radical diathermy
Conebiopsy(Varietyoftechniques) Cryocautery
LLETZ type1
LLETZ type2
LLETZ type3
Cold (orthermal)coagulation
Laser excision Laser ablation
Destructive methods of
treatment
Advantages
Simple, cheap,
Equipment widely
available
Very effective in expert
hands,
No expense of
histology of TZ
Disadvantages
No histological
examination of TZ.
Concern about the
margins, the true
diagnosis and the
depth of excision
Preconditions for ablative
therapy for CIN
The TZ must be fully visible
There must be no cytological or colposcopic
suspicion of invasive disease
There must be no cytological or colposcopic
suspicion of glandular disease
There should be no disparity between
cytological and histological diagnosis
The patient must not have had previous
therapy for CIN
Indications for treatment
As ever, a balance of risks
1. Risk of not treating the condition
Progression to cancer
ie ; 50% for CIN 3, perhaps 1% for CIN 1
2. Risk of treating the condition
Short term morbidity, uncommon
Long term complications in particular pregnancy
related, if large type 2 or 3 TZ
Threshold for treatment
• High grade disease
– Virtually all CIN 3
– Most CIN 2
• High risk patient with persistent low grade
disease
– Smoker
– Older
– High default risk
– Anxious
– HPV and other biomarker test results
EXCISION OF THE TZ
• Hysterectomy is rarely appropriate
– Genuine risk of inadequately treating
invasive disease
– Unnecessary risk of general anaesthesia
and major surgery and no benefit to patient
– May miss VAIN
EXCISION OF THE TZ
• Laser excision is entirely reasonable
– Expensive
– Useful for vaginal disease
– Similar success and complications profile
to LLETZ, with perhaps an increased risk
of subsequent perinatal mortality
EXCISION OF THE TZ
• LLETZ
– Usually an outpatient procedure
– Relatively inexpensive
– Simple to perform
– Accommodates all cases of CIN and
Microinvasive disease and glandular
disease
– Needs modification according to
presentation
If performed inexpertly may be associated
with excess morbidity
Optimising the treatment
experience
• Informed, comfortable, relaxed
• TZ has adequately analgesia
• Privacy, support, confidence
• Appropriately sized suction-
speculum
Excision of the TZ
LLETZ
• Under binocular colposcopic vision
• Thoroughly anaesthetised TZ
• After full colposcopic exam
• Low magnification
Full colposcopic exam
• Size and Type of TZ
• SWEDE score
• Diagnostic impression of worst lesion
• Documented using ifcpc nomenclature
LLETZ
LLETZ using a Tan Loop
2 x 2.5cms
Applicable to wider type 1 TZs
Dental syringe systemused for all LLETZ
procedures
Octapressin and citanest with a 2.2m. Vial and a 27 gauge needle
Excision: Principles of
treatment
• Treat the entire TZ
• Excise only the TZ
• Miminise the artefactual damage
– Fulguration not dessication
– Paint the wound with electrosurgery
– Always have monsel’s paste available
Excision: Principles of
treatment
• Always, always treat under binocular
colposcopic vision
• Always ensure full vision of :
– the entire TZ
– the entire loop
– and the adjacent vaginal wall
• Pass the loop slowly from left to right
Principles of treatment
• Choose the appropriate loop for the
specific TZ
• Modify the technique according to the
TZ type
• Ensure excision of the scj
• Beware the type 3 TZ
Type I
• Completely
ectocervical
• Fully visible
• small or large

Excision Types
new IFCPC proposal
• Type 1 Excision
– Resection of a type 1 TZ
• Type 2 Excision
– Resection of a type 2 TZ
• Type 3 Excision
– Resection of a type 3 TZ
– Glandular disease
– Suspected microinvasion
– Repeat treatment
Cases which require a type 3
excision
• CIN with a type 3 transformation zone
• Suspected microinvasive disease
• Suspected glandular disease
• Residual disease, ie previous treatment
Long loop or straight wire for
electro-surgicaltype 3 transformation

Excision of a type 3 TZ

• Published cure rates are very high no
matter which technique is examined
• Success is measured in surrogate ways
• Cure ultimately means the woman will
not develop cancer

Meta-analysis
Success of treatment
• Surprisingly few large RCTs
– No difference between techniques in terms
of success
– except cryocautery
Excision
• Margin Status
• Volume excised
• TZ type
• These three aspects of excision will
inform both doctor and patient in terms
of prediction of success and morbidity
Margin Status
• Marker for risk of residual disease
– Cytological suspicion 5 - 51%
– Histologically proven 3 - 7%
• Negative margins don’t preclude risk of
residual disease
Margin status at excision
• Ghaem-Maghami et al
• Meta-analysis 35,109 subjects
• Recurrence rate, high grade
– Complete excision 3%
– Incomplete excision 18%

The relation of type of excision and clear

Dimitriou E., Martin M., Farrar K
& Prendiville W 2009.
• Large type 2 or 3 TZ excisions are
associated with an increased risk of
incomplete excision margin status
• Perform larger TZ excisions in these
circumstances and counsel
appropriately
Complications after LLETZ
• Short term morbidity low
• Recent reviews have examined long
term complications, specifically
pregnancy related morbidity
– Kyrgiou et al,Lancet 2006
– Arbyn et al BMJ, 2008
Risk of perinatal death by
technique of excision
• Estimate of one perinatal death for
every 70 pregnancies in women treated
by CKC, laser cone or RD compared to
one in 500 for women treated by LLETZ
Severe pregnancy related
outcomes Arbyn et al 2008
• The current meta-analysis demonstrates that
CKC and probably also LC and radical
diathermy place women at increased risk of
PM and other serious pregnancy outcomes.
LLETZ and Laser ablation do not.
Morphological damage after excision
• Biologically plausible
• Perhaps related to extent or amount of
excision
• Applies largely to cases where ablation
would be inappropriate
– Large type 2 or 3 TZ,
– Previously treated patients,
– Glandular or suspected Microinvasion

Choices in treatment
• Depends on the case characteristics
– Age, parity, contraception
• Nulliparous 27yr old, minimum risk of default
with a moderate cytological and colposcopic
abnormality
• Sterilised parous 24 yr old with a moderate
cytological and colposcopic abnormality
In summary
• Define your treatment threshold
• Always treat under colposcopic vision
• Excise the entire TZ preferably as one
piece
• Minimise the excision of normal tissue
• Minimise morbidity of wound
managment
