The results of treatment of histologically proven cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) in 10 women are described. Two of them had CIN I and 8 CIN III. All patients had a application of 5 g 5 per cent 5-fluorouracil cream in a cervical cup daily over a period of 12 hours for one week. All 10 patients have been examined colposcopically, cytological and by biopsy following therapy. In 8 women cone biopsie were done 6-12 months afterwards for having a final diagnosis 2 patients having CIN I pretherapeutically were follow up for 16 months with cytology, colposcopy and punch biopsy. In 6 cases we found better findings (Twice complete healing, twice only CIN I and twice CIN II as residues). In 4 cases severe dysplasia and carcinoma in situ could be found in endocervix. Based on these results were recommended more (not only one) treatment cycles for local efficient chemotherapy using 5 per cent 5-fluorouracil cream.
