Cervical pre-cancer and its treatment and related topics are discussed – including HPV infection and vaccination; micro-invasive lesions; glandular disease; role of HIV, the menopause and pregnancy; psychological aspects of colposcopy and non-cervical genital neoplasia. The process of colposcopy is described in detail, using both images and videos.

The interactive break-out sessions feature actual clinical cases.
