Cone biopsy: When biopsy or endocervical curettage reveals a problem that requires further investigation, a
cone biopsy may be performed.
Dr Wa Xian, Principal Investigator at IMB, said, "Our study also revealed that this exotic population of cells does not reappear after ablation[2] by
cone biopsy. This finding helps to explain the low rate of new HPV infections in the cervix after excisional therapy and also raises the distinct possibility that preemptive removal of these cells in young women could reduce their risk of cervical cancer.
Treatment could not take place until the body had totally healed from the colposcopy so it was January 4 before Claire underwent a procedure known as '

The Otago University research also Looked at patients within the Green study period, comparing those initially managed with a small, diagnostic punch or wedge biopsy of the cervix, with patients treated at the outset with procedures including
cone biopsy or hysterectomy.

cone biopsy, at worst a hysterectomy.
Her GP sent her to Warrington Hospital, where the next day a consultant did a needle biopsy, then performed a
cone biopsy for further tests.
Treatment includes loop electrosurgical excision procedure (LEEP),
cone biopsy, or cryotherapy.
(1) Resolution of CIN 2 or 3 lesions was 77% to 98%, using knife
cone biopsy, laser conization, loop excision, laser ablation, cryotherapy, or 2 techniques not used commonly in the US, cold coagulation and radical diathermy.
