Cervical Precancer Treatment Outcomes in Cameroon
Ablative and excisional treatment procedures for cervical precancer were effective with limited adverse effects in Cameroon. Women living with HIV and those with large lesions experienced lower treatment effectiveness. Most of the women who got pregnant after the procedures delivered live and healthy babies. Posttreatment follow-up which is highly recommended because of recurrent/persistent lesions was barely above average.
