NCT01349621 · Status: COMPLETED · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 330

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

This is a prospective study to compare unpolarized (conventional) to polarized light colposcopy. Subjects will be asked to participate in the study when they arrive for their prescheduled colposcopic examination. The study doctor will use a conventional or standard colposcope to perform the examination. His/her impression of the exam will be noted and if necessary a biopsy specimen will be obtained. The study doctor will then perform a colposcopy using a polarized light. His/her impression of the exam will be noted and a biopsy specimen will be obtained if necessary.

This study is designed to test the hypothesis that polarized light colposcopy is more sensitive and more specific than standard, un-polarized light colposcopy.
