Indications of cone bx:
- Discrepancy btw pap and Colpo
- Diagnostic conization is indicated in the following situations:
Finding epithelial cell abnormalities, in particular high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions (HSIL) or low-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions (LSIL) in the absence of gross or colposcopic lesions of the cervix
Unsatisfactory colposcopy, defined as the examiner’s inability to view the entire transformation zone, including the squamocolumnar junction, in women with epithelial cell abnormalities
Uncertainty regarding the presence or absence of microinvasion or invasion following the diagnosis of CIN by directed biopsy
Finding CIN or microinvasive cancer during endocervical curettage
Cytologic or histologic evidence of premalignant or malignant glandular epithelium
Cytologic diagnosis inconsistent with histologic diagnosis based on directed biopsy findings - Therapeutic conization
-Therapeutic conization is currently the preferred modality to treat CIN grades 2 and 3. All described approaches (ie, cold-knife, laser, LEEP) are equally effective, as found by Mitchell and colleagues.

Stage 1A1
serum glycoprotein CA-125 concentration (normal range 0–35 kU/L) is elevated in 80% of women with ovarian cancer. However, the levels can be within the normal range in 50% of women with stage I disease. What malignancies can be high with?
epithelial ovarian, colon, or breast cancer.
-
USS and measurement of serum levels of CA-125 should be performed every 4 months. If there is no change in the size of the cyst or the cyst has resolved after 1 year of follow-up, then the patient can be discharged from follow-up.
In postmenopausal Women at intermediate risk of malignancy (RMI <200) with Simple, unilateral, unilocular ovarian cysts, management ?
can be suitable for laparoscopic surgery. Laparoscopic management of ovarian cysts in post-menopausal women should involve oophorectomy (usually bilateral), rather than cystectomy.
