Treatment of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia grade 3 (CIN3) is one of the most unexplored issues of the monitoring of cervical cancer screening. We evaluated (1) the frequency of major patterns of diagnosis and treatment of CIN3 (ICD-O code 8070.2), (2) the determinants of hysterectomy as a first choice treatment, and (3) the determinants of invasive cervical squamous carcinoma (CSC) detection among CIN3 cases treated by hysterectomy.
