Cervical intraepithelial neoplasia. A precancerous condition of the cervix (the bottom of the uterus) that is more common and more severe in HIV-infected women.
Cervical intra-epithelial neoplasia. The name given to abnormal but non-cancerous cells found in the cervix. If left untreated, CIN may turn into cancer. See cervical cancer section.
Cervical Intraepithelial Neoplasia. A general term used to describe the growth of abnormal cells on the surface of the cervix. Numbers from 1 to 3 may be used to describe the degree of abnormal changes, with 1 representing the lowest degree (and thus less problematic). CIN-1 is equivalent to mild dysplasia (abnormal cells), and often disappears on its own without treatment. CI N-2 or 3 is equivalent to moderate to severe dysplasia (pre-cancer).
term used to classify the degree of precancerous change in cells of the cervix in a condition called cervical dysplasia.
Cervical Intraepithelial Neoplasia. A general term used to describe the growth of abnormal cells on the surface of the cervix. Numbers from 1 to 3 (as in CIN 1 or CIN 3) are used to describe the degree of abnormal changes that have developed.CIN 1 is equivalent to mild dysplasia (abnormal cells), and often disappears on its own without treatment. CIN 2 or 3 is equivalent to moderate to severe dysplasia (pre-cancerous conditions that require treatment).
Cervical Intraepithelial Neoplasia. Another term for dysplasia; a noncancerous condition that occurs when normal cells on the surface of the cervix are replaced by a layer of abnormal cells. CIN is classified as 1,2, or 3.
cervical intraepithelial neoplasia. abnormal growth of cells of the uterine cervix, suggesting an early stage of cervical cancer. Human papillomavirus (HPV) and HIV infection are associated with an increased risk of CIN. There are 3 grades of severity: CIN I, CIN II and CIN III. A newer classification system divides these 3 classes into 2 categories: low-grade and high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (SIL). See also cervical dysplasia, squamous intraepithelial lesion.
see cervical intraepithelial neoplasia.
CIN stands for cervical intraepithelial neoplasia. This term is used to report an abnormal biopsy result.
Cervical intraepithelial neoplasia. A condition of the cervix, in which abnormal cells are present on the surface of the cervix. Over time, these cells may become cancerous. CIN is classified as I, II or III, depending on its severity. CIN1 often clears up without treatment, but a repeat smear test is needed to check.
Cervical intraepithelial neoplasia. A grading scale used to describe the growth of abnormal cells on the surface of the cervix. Scale from 1(mildly abnormal) to 3 (severely abnormal).
CERVICAL INTRAEPITHELIAL NEOPLASIA. Abnormal, potentially pre-cancerous cell changes of the cervix. The abnormality can be graded as mild (CIN-1), moderate (CIN-2) and severe/CIS (CIN-3)
Cervical Intraepithelial Neoplasia. Neoplasia cervical intraepitelial (CIN) Another term for dysplasia; a noncancerous condition that occurs when normal cells on the surface of the cervix are replaced by a layer of abnormal cells. Otro término para la displasia cervical; es el crecimiento anormal de células en la superficie del cuello uterino. Se considera a la displasia precancerosa, y puede progresar a un cáncer cervical si no se la trata.
(Cervical Intraepithelial Neoplasia). This means abnormal changes or growth in the surface layers of the cervix. These changes are not cancer but warn that cancer may develop over future years. CIN is graded CIN 1, 2 or 3; CIN 3 means the most severe changes.
