Feasibility of the Management of Severe Cervical Dysplasia in a Single Visit

Phase 3

Completed

• Conditions: Cervical Intraepithelial Neoplasia

• Registration Number: NCT00237562
• Lead Sponsor: University of California, Irvine

Brief Summary

1. Implement a single-visit program (SVP) for cervix cancer prevention in clinics serving a multi-ethnic population of women;

2. Set up an efficient system for interpretation of Pap smears for patients in the SVP that will minimize waiting time;

3. Determine the follow-up rates and compare them between women assigned to the SVP and a usual care program (UCP);

4. Determine satisfaction and compare it between women assigned to the SVP and the UCP;

5. Determine the cost-effectiveness and compare it between the SVP and UCP

Detailed Description

Women were recruited from underserved communities to participate in this single visit cervix cancer project. Large loop electrosurgical excision procedure (LEEP) was performed on SVP subjects with either a diagnosis of HGSIL/AGUS or suspicion of carcinoma. All other subjects with abnormal Papanicolaou smears were referred to our abnormal cytology clinics or received care in the community.
