In women with biopsy diagnosis of cervical LSIL, preceded by ASCUS or LSIL on cytology, a high rate of regression was observed and, in most of the cases, the regression occurred in the first year of follow-up. In women with cervical LSIL, preceded by ASC-H or HSIL on cytology, and in tobacco users, a higher risk of persistence and progression was observed. Thus, in these cases, repeated follow-up examinations, even with the HR-HPV test, are advisable.
