Quick Summary:

  • Adenocarcinoma In Situ (AIS) of Cervix is a small-sized, localized, premalignant adenocarcinoma, observed in the uterine cervix, which is the lower portion of the womb. AIS of Cervix only affects women
  • It may be described as an epithelial lesion and carries a very high-risk for invasive carcinoma, if left untreated. The condition is also known as High-Grade Cervical Glandular Intraepithelial Neoplasia (HG-CGIN)
  • The risk factors for Adenocarcinoma In Situ of Cervix include human papillomavirus (HPV) infection and having multiple sexual partners. This precancerous condition is predominantly noted against a background of HPV infection
  • In most cases, women do not present any signs and symptoms of Adenocarcinoma In Situ of Cervix. The condition is usually diagnosed through a Pap smear or colposcopy
  • Treatments vary widely from periodic observation to surgical removal of the abnormal tissue. The prognosis of Adenocarcinoma In Situ of Cervix is generally good with suitable treatment (i.e., surgical excision of the precancerous lesion). However, in some cases, the abnormal growth may advance to cancer
