    Area of Science:

    • Gynecologic Oncology
    • Diagnostic Imaging
    • Public Health

    Background:

    • Cervical cancer screening aims to detect precancerous and cancerous lesions early.
    • Cervicography is a photographic technique used to visualize the cervix.
    • The utility of cervicography as a screening tool requires further investigation.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the effectiveness of cervicography in screening for abnormal cervical lesions.
    • To assess the diagnostic yield of cervicography in patients with normal cervical cytology.

    Main Methods:

    • Analysis of 578 cervigrams from patients with normal cervical cytologic tests.
    • Categorization of cervigrams into normal, unsatisfactory, technically defective, and suspicious.
    • Colposcopic evaluation and biopsies for patients with suspicious cervigrams.

    Main Results:

    • 32.5% of cervigrams were categorized as suspicious.
    • Colposcopy and biopsy in suspicious cases revealed koilocytotic atypia, CIN 1, CIN 2, and one invasive cervical carcinoma.
    • 13.7% of cervigrams were normal; 26.4% were unsatisfactory; 27.5% were technically defective.

    Conclusions:

    • Cervicography identified a significant proportion of suspicious cervical lesions requiring further investigation.
    • While not yet proven cost-effective, cervicography warrants continued evaluation as a potential screening tool for cervical abnormalities.
