Abstract
Cervical cancer is the leading cause of cancer related death in developing countries .India has 1/5th of global burden of cervical cancer .it is majorly due to lack of screening facilities in developing countries. VIA /VILI has been studied for population screening in various studies and found to have very high sensitivity for detection of cervical pre-invasive lesions .We studied the feasibility and usefulness of VIA /VILI as a part of routine extended gynaec examination in OPD setup for all women coming to gynae OPD and its role in detection of preinvasive and invasive cervical lesions.
