Abstract
To determine the distribution of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia 2 or 3 on the uterine cervix. During two screening studies, 5,060 women underwent colposcopy with biopsy. If a cervical quadrant had no lesion, a random biopsy at the squamocolumnar junction was obtained. Cervical intraepithelial neoplasia 2 or worse was more common on the posterior (426/806; 52.9%) than on the anterior (380/806; 47.2%) cervix (p p Cervical intraepithelial neoplasia 2 or worse is slightly more common on the posterior cervix. Using colposcopically detected lesions as a surrogate for cervical intraepithelial neoplasia 2 or worse inflates the prevalence of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia on the anterior cervix.Keywords
