CIN 2/3 - (pronounced) Abnormal cells are found on the surface of the cervix. CIN 2/3 is usually caused by certain types of human papillomavirus (HPV) and is found on a cervical biopsy. CIN 2/3 has characteristics of both CIN 2 and CIN 3. It is not cancer but can become cancerous and spread to nearby normal tissue if left untreated. Treatment for CIN 2/3 may include cryotherapy, laser therapy, a loop electrosurgical procedure (LEEP), or cone biopsy to remove or destroy the abnormal tissue. Also called grade 2/3 cervical intraepithelial neoplasia
