In the Name of God
Book introduction
Despite decades of cervical cancer screening and HPV vaccination, the disease remains the fourth most common cancer in women worldwide. Persistent high-risk HPV infection is the primary cause of cervical precancerous lesions and cancer. Given the long latency period and ease of cervical assessment, early detection is highly feasible. Colposcopy is key to identifying precancerous changes invisible to the naked eye While pathologic classifications have evolved, few resources are available to emphasize on cervical precancerous lesions or integrate pathology with clinical and colposcopic findings. This book, structured in six sections and seventeen chapters, addresses this gap by combining illustrated colposcopic cases, epidemiologic context, HPV vaccination, and current screening and treatment guidelines. All cases originate from a single expert colposcopy clinic, with pathology reviewed by a skilled gynecologic pathologist. It serves as a practical guide for students, residents, and specialists aiming to improve early detection and understanding of cervical disease
