Fluorescence and Reflectance Spectroscopy During Colposcopy in Detecting Cervical Intraepithelial Neoplasia and Dysplasia in Healthy Participants With a History of Normal Pap Smears

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Cervical Cancer, Precancerous Condition

In brief

RATIONALE: New diagnostic procedures such as fluorescence and reflectance spectroscopy (shining light on tissue and measuring patterns of light reflected) may improve the ability to noninvasively detect cervical intraepithelial neoplasia and dysplasia. PURPOSE: This diagnostic trial is studying how well fluorescence and reflectance spectroscopy during colposcopy work in detecting cervical intraepithelial neoplasia and dysplasia in healthy participants with a history of normal Pap smears.
