cervical squamous intraepithelial neoplasia 2 - (pronounced) (SER-vih-kul SKWAY-mus IN-truh-eh-pih-THEE-lee-ul NEE-oh-PLAY-zhuh. . . ) Moderately abnormal cells are found on the surface of the cervix. Cervical squamous intraepithelial neoplasia 2 is usually caused by certain types of human papillomavirus (HPV) and is found when a cervical biopsy is performed. Cervical squamous intraepithelial neoplasia 2 is not cancer but can become cancerous and spread to adjacent normal tissue if left untreated. Treatment for cervical squamous intraepithelial neoplasia 2 may include cryotherapy, laser therapy, a loop electrosurgical procedure (LEEP), or cone biopsy to remove or destroy the abnormal tissue. Cervical squamous intraepithelial neoplasia 2 is sometimes referred to as high grade or moderate dysplasia. Also called CIN2
