Objective. To estimate the incidence of minor cervical lesions and to analyze methods for their diagnosis.
Material and methods. The paper reviews the published literature on minor cervical epithelial lesions, methods for their diagnosis, and prognosis of disease progression
Results. The analysis of the data available in the literature has shown that molecular genetics and immunocytochemical methods greatly expand the diagnostic capabilities of minor lesions and the prognosis of the course of the process.
Conclusion. It is necessary to search for molecular genetic markers to assess the risk of progression of the process.

Keywords
