What Are the Treatments for Precancerous Cervical Lesions?
Precancerous cervical lesions, also called cervical dysplasia, are abnormal cells on the surface of the cervix. Cervical dysplasia is classified as low or high grade. Low grade cervical dysplasia grows slowly and may resolve without treatment, the University of Maryland Medical Center (UMMC) states. Without treatment, severe high grade cervical dysplasia progresses to cervical cancer 30 to 50 percent of the time. Treatment of cervical dysplasia is surgical removal or destruction of abnormal cells.
