Abstract

Introduction: Screening consists of the presumptive identification, by means of tests applied in a systematic and standardised manner, of subjects suffering from a disease or abnormality that has previously gone unnoticed. The aim of this work was to contribute to the study of screening and management of precancerous lesions of the cervix in women seen at the centres. Patients and methods: This was a prospective, descriptive study lasting twelve (12) months from 17/09/2020 to 16/09/202. It concerned all women seen for screening for precancerous lesions of the cervix during the period and who had agreed to participate voluntarily in the study. Results: screening for precancerous and cancerous lesions of the cervix was carried out in 35.06% of the women seen during the study period, and precancerous lesions were detected by VIA in 9.60% of them. Most of the women were aged between 31 and 39, with an average age of 36, married (86.66%), not in education (60.66%), had a liberal profession (55.46%) as their main occupation and were multiparous (37.26%). Screening and vaginal bleeding were the main reasons for consultation. Of the women screened positive for VIA, 218 had undergone cryotherapy and 26 had undergone loop electrosurgical resection. All had a favourable outcome. Conclusion: Cervical cancer is a major public health problem in developing countries such as Guinea. This study demonstrated the effectiveness of screening and management of precancerous lesions in the secondary prevention of cervical cancer.
