Objective: To describe a method for the management and interpretation of the biopsy specimen of the neck of the uterus, obtained by radio-surgery. Methods: a flow of coordinated actions was established in the management, on 162 cervix biopsies, from sample taking to final diagnosis during a two years period. Results: This method facilitates the interpretation and topographic location of the lesions, in a way that it clears out the forecasting.
