Treatment of preinvasive disease of the cervix with LEEP can be an excellent option in a limited-resource setting. However, close follow-up of pathology and patient risk factors is just as important ...

The researchers behind the new study know that getting to 100% for cervical cancer screening, surveillance, and diagnostic procedures known as colposcopy and LEEP is probably impossible.

LEEP uses a wire loop heated by an electric current to cut away abnormal cells and tissue. The doctor will send the abnormal cells and tissue to the lab for testing. Cervical cancer is closely linked ...

Laser therapy. Destroys abnormal cervical tissue using a beam of light. Loop electrosurgical excision procedure (LEEP). Uses a thin wire loop that carries an electric current to remove abnormal tissue ...

Cryotherapy and LEEP are effective for most women with positive cervical pre-cancer screening results, depending on the specific characteristics of the lesion. For early-stage cancers, surgery is ...

SPMC Chairwoman Department of OB-GYN Dr. Loida Michelle Ong emphasized the impact of the newly acquired LEEP, colposcopy, and cryotherapy machines, particularly in improving cervical cancer treatment.

Resources are needed to improve post-LEEP follow-up for women with margin positivity who require additional ablative/excisional procedures to reduce the cervical cancer burden in Botswana. Supported ...
