Abstract
A REVIEW of the recent literature indicates an increasing realization of the importance of cold-knife conization of the cervix for diagnostic purposes. In 1954 Thornton et al.,1 in a report of 30 patients who had intraepithelial carcinoma of the cervix (in situ) diagnosed by punch biopsy, emphasized the necessity of a cervical conization; 5 of these women subsequently had invasive cancer found in the larger specimens obtained by conization.Scott and Reagan,2 in 1956, also demonstrated the value of cold-knife conization. In addition they pointed out the danger of using conization as definitive treatment for intraepithelial carcinoma of the cervix. In . . .Keywords
