What is Noninvasive Carcinoma in Situ of Cervix?
A very early form of cervical cancer is known as carcinoma in situ. It also may be called noninvasive carcinoma. This abnormality involves only the top layer of cervical cells, not deeper layers of tissue in the cervix or elsewhere in the reproductive tract. Without treatment, carcinoma in situ usually will develop into invasive cervical cancer. Carcinoma in situ occurs most often in women between 30 and 40 years of age.
