How are precancerous cells in the cervix treated?
Treatments for precancerous lesions include excision (surgical removal of the abnormal area, also referred to as a cone biopsy or conization, or loop electrosurgical excision procedure [LEEP]), cryosurgery (freezing), and laser (high-energy light). (See “Patient education: Colposcopy (Beyond the Basics)”.)
