The safety of conization in the management of adenocarcinoma<i>in situ</i>of the uterine cervix

Abstract

Patients with positive resection margins after conization for AIS of the uterine cervix are significantly more likely to have residual disease. However, negative resection margin carries a lower risk for residual AIS, therefore conservative management with careful surveillance seems to be feasible in women who wish to preserve their fertility.
