Abstract


OBJECTIVE
To know the ratio of hysterectomies and cones for the treatment of CIN 3 in Incheon and Bucheon area, and to know the trend of changes of treatments according to the year operated and age of patients.
METHODS
From Jan. of 1996 to Mar. of 2005, clinical information was reviewed for the patients with CIN3 at 5 hospitals, which were members of Gynecologic Oncology Study Group in Incheon and Bucheon area.
RESULTS
Among 1428 patients with CIN 3, 808 patients underwent hysterectomies and 620 underwent cone (57% vs. 43%). Before 2000, almost 10-30% of patients selected cones for themselves. After 2003, however, 70% have selected cones. And younger patients prefer cones and older patients prefer hysterectomies. 60% of patients of their 5th decades have selected hysterectomies and remainders have selected cones for their CIN3 treatments.
CONCLUSION
In Incheon and Bucheon area, hysterectomies have been performed slightly more than conization of cervix for the patients with CIN3. After 2003, however, about 70% of patients with CIN3 have been treated by cone. As patients get old, they get to prefer hysterectomy.
