Human papillomavirus-associated cervical intraepithelial neoplasia in the presence of iodine deficiency

Introduction. Cervical cancer holds one of the top positions in the oncological diseases ranking among the female population in the presence of iodine deficiency in the territory of the Republic of Bashkortostan. It's commonly believed that it is caused by the development of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) associated with highly oncogenic strains of the human papillomavirus (HPV). The article pays special attention to the risk factors for the development of precancerous and cancerous diseases of the cervix and their timely treatment.

The aim of the study was to improve the diagnosis and therapy of HPV-associated CIN in the presence of iodine deficiency in the Republic of Bashkortostan.

Materials and methods. 256 women aged between 21 and 45 years with identified HPV-associated CIN I were enrolled in our study. The first stage of treatment known as preoperative was carried out in the outpatient setting. At stage 2, the patients were offered a radio-wave surgery treatment of the cervix.

Results and discussion. The video colposcope analysis showed that the average time of epithelialization of the cervix after exposure to the destruction depended on the age and duration of the disease. For instance, complete epithelialization of the cervix in the group of patients aged between 21 to 38 years was reported in 72% of cases by Day 40, and in 62% of cases in the group of 39-45 years old on Day 40. The complete elimination of the virus was observed in 236 patients out of 256 cases (92%) 70 days after the end of therapy.

Сonclusion. The study proves the effectiveness of the combination treatment of patients with HPV-associated CIN.
