Intraepithelial neoplasia of the lower genital tract

The incidence of CIN, VIN, and VAIN has increased dramatically in recent years due to a true increase in disease incidence as well as improved screening methods. Associated high-risk factors in the development of intraepithelial neoplasia are known, and effective treatment modalities are available. With the use of diagnostic techniques, patient education, and selection and utilization of appropriate therapies, intraepithelial neoplasia of the lower genital tract remains a disease that should not affect long-term morbidity, social status, or mortality of female patients.
