Squamous intraepithelial lesions of the cervix are one of the most common pathologies of the female reproductive system, mainly affecting patients of reproductive age. The progression of this pathology can result in the development of cervical cancer. As a rule, cervical cancer does not occur immediately, but develops over a long period of time, going through a series of stages. Dynamic monitoring and identification of squamous intraepithelial lesions progression markers are necessary to prevent the development of cervical cancer. The article presents current data on the etiology, pathogenesis, and diagnosis of this pathology.
