CLINICOPATHOLOGICAL STUDY OF NEOPLASTIC LESIONS OF UTERINE CERVIX AT A TERTIARY CARE CENTRE

Abstract

Background:- Cervical cancer is the second most common cancer of women in India and most common cause of death among women in developing countries. HPV infection has emerged as the important causative agent in development of carcinoma cervix. Cervical screening program has drastically reduced rates of carcinoma cervix in developed countries. Present study is being conducted to study the spectrum of neoplastic cervical lesions and its association with clinical presentation in different age groups. The present prospective Material And Methods: study was performed on all the biopsies and specimens of cervix received in the Pathology department. Total 356 cases were studied, out Results:- of which 264 cases were neoplastic, 75 cases were non neoplastic, and 17 cases were pre neoplastic lesions. Maximum number of cases seen in 5th decade, multiparous, with bleeding as most common presentation. Squamous cell carcinoma was the predominant neoplastic lesion. Conclusion:- In our study, majority of cases were multiparous commonly presented in 5th decade of life. Neoplasms of uterine cervix include a wide range of lesions, most predominant being squamous cell carcinoma, It is essential to spread awareness for strengthening of screening programmes at early age for early diagnosis and treatment.
