Secondary Cervix Cancer Prevention
• Secondary prevention means stop the progression of disease once it
has already started (stop progression)
• Cytological screening Pap-Test
• Visual screening Colposcopy
• +/- HPV-Testing
Indication for Colposcopy
• Abnormal Pap smear
• Treatment and follow up of CIN
• Bleeding
• post-coital
• Postmenopausal
• Menorrhagia
• Persist vagina discharge
• Unhealthy cervix
• HPV pos / external vulva warts
Tools
Transformation Zone
Transformation Zone
• The Normal TZ is located between the old SCJ and the
colposcopically-visible, new SCJ
• Dynamic Area
• Carcinogenic factors (HPV, carcinogenic Substances e.g. Smoking) are
incorporated into vulnerable immature metaplastic Epithelia
Classification of Transformation Zone
Bornstein J et al., 2011
Transformation Zone
TZ I
TZ II
TZ III
Sellors JW and Sankaranarayanan R, 2003
Steps in the Colposcopic Examination
• Obtain a relevant medical history
• Explain the procedure to the woman
• Obtain informed consent
• Speculum and obtain specimens for lab examination, HPV Test, PAP if
necessary
• Apply normal saline solution
• Apply 5% acetic acid
• Apply Lugol’s iodine solution
• Perform cervical biopsies, if necessary
