Escharotic treatment for cervical intraepithelial neoplasia II, III

Escharotic treatment for cervical intraepithelial neoplasia II, III

This paper in Sage Journal by Swanick, Windstar-Hamlin, and Zwickey H explores a treatment for CIN II and III other than a loop electrosurgical excision procedure (LEEP). A 20-year-old woman with recurrent cervical dysplasia, four years post-cervical conization, was diagnosed with CIN II and III. She opted for escharotic treatment twice a week for 5 weeks, alongside oral vitamins and botanicals. Follow-ups at 4 and 10 months showed negative Pap smears, satisfactory colposcopy, and normal results for five years. Escharotic treatment presents a promising, low-risk alternative to LEEP for high-grade cervical neoplasias, as indicated by sustained normalcy in Pap results and colposcopic exams. Read more here.
