What does CIN 3 result mean?
Listen to pronunciation. Severely abnormal cells are found on the surface of the cervix. CIN 3 is usually caused by certain types of human papillomavirus (HPV) and is found when a cervical biopsy is done. CIN 3 is not cancer, but may become cancer and spread to nearby normal tissue if not treated.
What are the symptoms of CIN 3?
The most important symptom is bleeding after sex. Bleeding in between periods as well can be an early warning sign of cervical cancer. Later on you can get backache; you can get pelvic pain, like period pains. But these are signs of later cervical cancer.
Is CIN 3 the same as carcinoma-in-situ?
CIN 3 means the full thickness of the cervical surface layer is affected by abnormal cells. CIN 3 is also called carcinoma-in-situ. This sounds like cancer, but CIN 3 is not cervical cancer. Cancer develops when the deeper layers of the cervix are affected by abnormal cells.
How long does it take for HPV to cause CIN 3?
A woman progresses from AHPV to ACIN in T1 years and from ACIN to ACA in T2 years.
Can you get CIN3 twice?
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.
What are the chances of getting CIN3 again?
Table 2

Will CIN3 come back after LEEP?
Definitely. A few women we spoke interviewed did have a recurrence of abnormal cells after treatment for CIN3, and this was often found at a follow-up appointment. Most were treated again by LLETZ.
How long does CIN 3 take to develop?
However, it is estimated that 5% of CIN 2 and 12% of CIN 3 cases will progress to invasive cancer if untreated. In general, it takes 10 to 20 years for CIN to progress to cancer, allowing a significant time period for detection and treatment.
How long does it take for HPV to develop into CIN3?
CIN2/3 is considered a precursor of cervical cancer and is treated when detected, even though the possibility of regression to a normal state exists. Whereas CIN2/3 typically develops within a few years of infection with HPV (4–6), progression to invasive carcinoma is generally thought to require much more time.
What is CIN 2 and CIN 3?
Cervical intraepithelial neoplasia grade 2 (CIN 2) and cervical intraepithelial neoplasia grade 3 (CIN 3) are managed as ‘high-grade’ cervical intraepithelial neoplasia and usually treated by excision or ablation when diagnosed at colposcopy.
Is CIN III a true pre-cancer?
The table shows the biopsy size of the initial biopsy (CIN III) in mm aIn the first column, HPV 16 status is listed for those seven cases investigated by the Cobas 4800 system Discussion CIN III is regarded as a true pre-cancer, characterised by transformation to invasive cervical carcinoma at a rate of 0.2 to 4 % within twelve months [24].
What is a CIN3 grade cervical cancer?
CIN3 – indicates more severe changes (not cancer); affecting the full thickness of the surface layer of the cervix. Even with CIN2 or CIN3 grade changes, the cell changes are unlikely to be cancer. A doctor explains what HPV is and that CIN3 might be prevented by not smoking. This opens in a new window.
What is a non-regression diagnosis of CIN 3?
Diagnoses of CIN II, III or higher were regarded as persistence or progression (non-regression cases). A diagnosis of CIN I or less (e.g. condyloma, inflammation) was regarded as regression. In all cases showing putative regression, the paraffin blocks of the cones were completely sectioned until no further tissue was left in the paraffin blocks.
