Possibilities of fluorescence diagnostics in detecting multicentric focies of cervical dysplasia

Abstract

Colposcopy allows the examiner to localize potential lesions, assess the severity of the lesion, and obtain a colposcopic guided biopsy. This method has limited sensitivity and specificity, raising serious concerns about the possibility of missing cervical dysplasia. Fluorescent methods for diagnosing precancerous diseases of the cervix and early forms of cancer have an extremely high sensitivity, reaching 90%. The presented results of the study allow us to fully declare the high information content of fluorescent colposcopy in identifying dysplastic lesions on the cervix.
