Who is this surgery for?
- Diagnosis of abnormal, pre-cancerous cells confined to the epithelium (e.g., Cervical Intraepithelial Neoplasia CIN III, Ductal Carcinoma In Situ DCIS).
- Following an abnormal screening test result, such as a Pap smear or mammogram.
- Presence of a visible lesion identified during a clinical examination (e.g., in the skin, bladder, or oral cavity).
- To obtain a definitive tissue diagnosis after a suspicious biopsy.
- As a preventive measure for high-risk individuals with known pre-cancerous conditions.
How to prepare
- Complete a thorough medical history review and physical examination with your oncologist.
- Undergo necessary diagnostic tests (e.g., imaging, biopsy) to confirm the diagnosis and extent of CIS.
- Discuss all current medications, especially blood thinners, which may need to be paused.
- Follow pre-procedure fasting instructions if sedation or general anesthesia is planned.
- Arrange for transportation home post-procedure, as you may not be fit to drive.
Risks & possible complications
- Bleeding or hematoma at the treatment site.
- Infection requiring antibiotics.
- Pain, discomfort, or scarring at the procedure site.
- Incomplete removal of abnormal cells, necessitating a repeat procedure.
- Rarely, damage to surrounding tissues or organs depending on the location.
- Reaction to anesthesia (if used).
- Recurrence of carcinoma in situ or progression to invasive cancer if not fully eradicated.
Recovery & hospital stay
- Most procedures are outpatient, allowing you to return home the same day.

Vikram Smith, a 58-year-old retired firefighter,...
Vikram Smith, a 58-year-old retired firefighter, had always been vigilant about his health after years of exposure to smoke and chemicals. During a routine colonoscopy, his gastroenterologist found a suspicious, flat lesion in his sigmoid colon. A biopsy confirmed it was high-grade dysplasia, or carcinoma in situ (CIS) of the colon. His oncologist, Dr. Evans, explained that while the abnormal cells were confined to the top layer of the colon lining and had not invaded deeper tissues, they had a high potential to become cancerous. She recommended an endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) to completely remove the lesion. Vikram underwent the outpatient procedure, which was successful in achieving clear margins. His recovery involved a short period of a liquid diet and mild cramping. The pathology report confirmed complete removal with no invasion. Emotionally, Vikram felt a profound shock at the word 'carcinoma,' followed by intense anxiety during the wait for the procedure. After the successful removal and clear margins, he felt immense relief and a renewed commitment to his surveillance schedule, though with a lingering, low-level vigilance about his health.
