Study hypothesis
The optimal management strategy for women with biopsy confirmed Cervical Intraepithelial Neoplasia 1 (CIN 1) is unclear. Our hypothesis is that a strategy of colposcopic follow up and treating progressive disease is as good as immediate treatment with Loop Electrosurgical Excision Procedure (LEEP).
Ethics approval
Ethics approval received from the McMaster University Research Ethics Board in December 2004.
