| Popis: | AIMS To evaluate the outcomes of cryotherapy and thermo-coagulation in the treatment of cervical precancers. METHOD Prospective analytical study. Women who screened positive to visual inspection with acetic acid and confirmed by colposcopy using the Swede's score were randomized to receive either cryotherapy or thermo-coagulation. Participants were re-evaluated 6 months later. RESULTS A total of 11 124 women were screened. Only 1023 of the 1294 colposcopically confirmed positive cases were eligible for ablative therapy. Five hundred and twelve women received cryotherapy while 511 women received thermo-coagulation. Cryotherapy had similar cure rate with thermo-coagulation (85.5 vs 89.2%, P = 0.09). The mean patient satisfaction score for thermo-coagulation was higher than that for cryotherapy (3.9 ± 1.3 vs 2.8 ± 1.7; P |
