What’s The Shortest Time Cervical Cancer Can Take To Progress From Cin 1 To Cin 3?
To be honest, it can be pretty quick. Maybe a few months, but usually it takes longer than that.
But you are really asking the wrong question. CIN 3 is still very treatable and not really a cause for big concern. What you really should be asking is how long it takes to go from CIN 1 to invasive cancer. For the abnormaltiies to get outside the epithelial layer is what takes the long time. Only abot 20-25% of CIN 3 will become cancer, and it usually takes 5 years at least. Put another way, if left untreated for and entire year, CIN 3 only has a 3% chance of becomeing cancer.
So even if you are only getting yearly check ups with CIN 1, any thing will be caught before it is cancer. But paps aren’t 100% accurate, so most doctors will have you come in every 3-6 months.
And most importantly, please remember that most CIN 1 does not progress EVER!!! CIN 1 goes away on it’s on at least 70% of the time.
