Abstract
Former examinations showed that 60% of cervical intraepithelial neoplasias are associated with the papillomavirus types 6/11 and 16/18 [2]. Papillomaviruses, particulary type 16/18, are said to have an effect on the development of cervical carcinoma [3]. Thus, a mode of therapy for precursors of cervical carcinoma should also remove a possible carcinogen. The aim of our investigations was to evaluate the therapeutic success of laser treatment on the cervix, with particular regard to HPV findings and the degree of severity of the intraepithelial neoplasia being treated.
