In 2012 a group of experts met to revise the American Society for Colposcopy and Cervical Pathology (ASCCP) Consensus Guidelines. The goal was to revise previously agreed on evidence-based consensus guidelines for managing women with abnormal cervical cancer screening tests. This included CIN (cervical intraepithelial neoplasia) and AIS (adenocarcinoma in situ) Previously the society had agreed on adopting cervical cancer screening guidelines for longer screening intervals and co-testing of HPV.
