Background And Objective: The ablative and excision treatment procedures are effective, accessible, and affordable in resource-constrained settings, but the rollout and posttreatment follow-up are not remarkable. The outcomes of treatment procedures among women treated for precancerous lesions of the cervix have not been adequately studied in Cameroon. This study assessed the outcome of ablative and excisional treatment procedures.

- Women treated for cervical precancerous lesions in Cameroon face a significantly increased risk of developing cervical cancer, with a study aiming to identify factors that affect their adherence to follow-up care.
- A retrospective analysis revealed that 44.77% of the 344 women treated in 2013 did not return for follow-up over five years, and marital status was the only significant predictor of adherence.
- The study suggests that strategies targeting women, especially those who are married or aged 30-49, are needed to improve follow-up adherence and ultimately reduce cervical cancer risks.
