Among the many responsibilities of the gynecologist in modern practice is the detection of neoplasia at the earliest possible opportunity. The advances made in the field of cytology as related to the practice of gynecology are well known and have significantly changed the detection of cervical carcinoma. The resurgence of colposcopy in the evaluation of patients with abnormal cervical cytology has added valuable new dimensions in the understanding of early cervical neoplasia and our ability to diagnose and treat these lesions. The complete acceptance of colposcopy as an essential step in the study of such patients requires a re-education and alteration in the philosophy of management which has been prevalent in American gynecologic practice to date.
