A review of the CO2 laser in the current management protocol for squamous cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) is presented. The laser provides the clinician with a versatile instrument that enables accurate application of biophysical insults to the full range of CIN lesions likely to be encountered. Side effects and cure rates compare favourably with the alternative methods of local destruction presently available. The final benchmark of success of all such treatments will remain the prevention of subsequent invasive cancer as observed on long-term follow-up. It should be noted that for some of the methods discussed such information is not yet available.
本文对二氧化碳激光在当前宫颈鳞状上皮内瘤变（CIN）管理方案中的应用进行了综述。激光为临床医生提供了一种多功能仪器，能够对可能遇到的各种CIN病变准确施加生物物理损伤。与目前可用的局部破坏替代方法相比，其副作用和治愈率更具优势。所有此类治疗成功的最终标准仍将是长期随访中观察到的后续浸润性癌的预防。需要注意的是，对于本文讨论的一些方法，此类信息尚不具备。
