Abstract
Introduction: Conservative treatments including cold knife cone biopsy (CKC) or loop electrosurgical excision procedure (LEEP) are fertility-preserving alternatives to hysterectomy. The risks of persistent cervical neoplasia in women with negative surgical margins following conservative treatment of adenocarcinoma-in-situ (AIS) are uncertain. This study aims to investigate the risk of persistent or recurrent cervical neoplasia [AIS, adenocarcinoma and/or high-grade cervical squamous intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN)] and compliance with follow-up recommendations in conservatively treated women with AIS and negative histopathological margins.
