Abstract
Cervical dysplastic lesions, better defined as intraepithelial neoplasia frequently associated with papilloma virus infections, presently are treated by conservative procedures and tissue destruction methods are widely employed. Comparable or even better results in terms of complete remission are obtained with intra-perilesional injection of human fibroblast interferon. The efficacy of interferon is attributed to its antiviral, cytostatic and immunomodulatory properties.
