What is CIN and CGIN?
CIN and CGIN are named for the part of the cervix they affect: CIN affects cells on the outer surface of the cervix. CGIN affects cells up inside the cervical canal. It is less common than CIN.
Is AIS the same as CGIN?
Endocervical-type adenocarcinoma is the commonest (70% of adenocarcinomas) and may be preceded by adenocarcinoma in situ (AIS), also known as cervical glandular intraepithelial neoplasia (CGIN), which is a known precursor of adenocarcinoma (Ostör et al. 2000).
Can CGIN go away on its own?
CIN 1 – it’s unlikely the cells will become cancerous and they may go away on their own; no treatment is needed and you’ll be invited for a cervical screening test in 12 months to check they’ve gone. CIN 2 – there’s a moderate chance the cells will become cancerous and treatment to remove them is usually recommended.
Can CGIN come back?
A doctor explains that the chances of recurrence after treatment for CIN3 / CGIN are small. If CIN3 has been completely treated, in other words the abnormality has been removed in it’s entirety with a zone of normal tissue around it, then the chances of it recurring are very, very small.
Is CGIN treatable?
CGIN, which stands for cervical glandular intra-epithelial neoplasia, is an abnormality of the glandular cells. It’s much less common that CIN, but it’s similar. It’s a pre-cancerous abnormality which, again, is fully treatable, if it is detected.
What causes CGIN?
Nearly all cervical cancers are caused by an infection with certain high-risk types of human papillomavirus (HPV). You can get HPV from: any skin-to-skin contact of the genital area. vaginal, anal or oral sex.
Is CGIN serious?
It isn’t more serious. It’s a less common abnormality and it can sometimes be slightly harder to treat because the cells inside the cervix are continuous with the cells inside the womb. But, as long as it detected, it will be treated. And treatment will reduce the risk of it progressing to cancer quite significantly.
How serious is CGIN?
It is an abnormality of the glandular tissue in the cervix. CGIN is usually classified as low grade (mild) or high grade (severe).
Is cervical intraepithelial neoplasia contagious?
No, CIN is not contagious. It cannot be passed on to other people. How did I get HPV? People can become infected with HPV by having vaginal, anal, or oral sex with someone who has the virus.
How do I get rid of CGIN?
CGIN is usually treated with a cone biopsy, which requires a general anaesthetic and a day case hospital admission. The point in using a cone biopsy to treat CGIN rather than a loop is it’s important to shape the area that’s removed from the cervix and get right to the top of where the abnormal cells arise.
What does it mean if you have CIN and cgin?
Your results letter usually calls these: cervical glandular intraepithelial neoplasia (CGIN). Finding out you have cell changes may be worrying, especially if you haven’t heard of CIN or CGIN before. Try to remember that cell changes are not cervical cancer and having them does not mean you will develop cervical cancer.
Can a cgin cell change become cervical cancer?
CGIN is usually described as: high grade. If you have any grade of CGIN, you will be offered treatment. Will CIN and CGIN develop into cervical cancer? Most cell changes do not develop into cervical cancer. Once cell changes are found and graded, colposcopists can monitor or treat them as needed.
Where are CIN and cgin cells located in the cervix?
CIN and CGIN are named for the part of the cervix they affect: CIN affects cells on the outer surface of the cervix. CGIN affects cells up inside the cervical canal. It is less common than CIN. How is CIN graded?
What kind of cancer can you get if you have cgin?
If CGIN is not treated, it may develop into adenocarcinoma. This type of cervical cancer affects the glandular cells up inside the cervical canal.
