Project 5a
Women with persistent low grade abnormal smears who have been referred for colposcopy.
2-3% of all cervical smears will show mild abnormalities. A proportion of
these women will have a persistent abnormal smear and be treated for this. We
would like to investigate the value of incorporating a human papilloma virus
test into the follow up of these women to try and identify which women are at
increased risk of recurrent cervical disease.
