Overview
Cervical Intra-epithelial Neoplasia (CIN) is a precancerous condition of the cervix, the lower opening of the uterus. It happens when abnormal cells begin to grow on the surface of the cervix, which can potentially turn into Cervical Cancer if left untreated. CIN is most commonly detected through a Pap smear, a type of screening test which detects changes in the cells of the cervix before invasive cancer has developed. Treatment for CIN is available, and can be successful in preventing Cervical Cancer. Early detection of CIN is important for women’s health, as it can help to detect and reduce the risk of Cervical Cancer.
