The relationship of dietary and serum vitamin A to the occurrence of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia in sexually active women.
Sexually active women with colposcopically directed, biopsy-proved cervical intraepithelial neoplasia were matched with normal control subjects with regard to age, race, and socioeconomic status, in order to determine if dietary and serum vitamin A (retinol) levels can be considered one of the contributing risk factors for the development of this disease process. An evaluation of women in the group with cervical intraepithelial neoplasia statistically showed lower levels of serum vitamin A (p = 0.1), although, dietary profiles of both groups did not yield a statistically significant difference (p = 0.7). These results suggest that low serum levels of vitamin A may be associated with the development of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia.

Carcinoma of the cervix and sexual function.
Forty-six patients were interviewed more than a year after treatment for carcinoma of the cervix to establish the effects of radiation therapy and of surgical therapy on sexual feelings and performance. Group 1 consisted of 22 patients who had undergone radiation therapy for stage I, II, or III cancer of the cervix. Group 2 consisted of 20 patients who had undergone hysterectomy with or without partial vaginectomy for carcinoma in situ. The irradiated patients experienced statistically significant decreases in sexual enjoyment, ability to attain orgasm, libido, frequency of intercourse, opportunity, and sexual dreams. The surgically treated group had no significant change in sexual function after treatment. Both groups experienced a change in self-image but did not feel that their partners or family viewed them differently. Myths about cancer and the actual effects of pelvic irradiation were found to have disrupted the sexual-marital relationships of many women. Therapeutic programs are discussed through which women can be helped through this difficult time in their lives.
