40yo G0 - infertility, blocked tubes with some element of PCOS. one adopted child, 4 yo

Paps: 95 - ASCUS 96, 97 - normal 98 ASCUS 99 normal (the above not in my office) (some years without paps after that) 2004 - normal 2005 ASC-cann't rule out high grade dysplasia 2005 colpo - invasive Squamous Cell ca -- unable to assess invison Cone (cold knife) 1.5 mm invasion.

1. What would you do?

2. My guess is that if we had done the Reflex HPV back in 95 &/0r 98 she probably would have been positive for the High Risk HPV ... would this have changed any management and would we have found this earlier?

3. The "normal" in 2004 (if she had had normals in 2000, 2001, 2002, and 2003) would have "qualified" her for less frequent paps by the recent Pap recommendations!

The is reinforces my "just do 'em yearly" ... th eonly low risk patient being the virgin.

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
