b) If just having regular review of smears, accept.
Additional InformationBy definition, cervical carcinoma 'in situ' has not spread. For that reason it is not considered to be a potential risk to any recipient of donated material.

A colposcope is an instrument used to view more easily the neck of the womb (cervix). It is not a flexible endoscope so its use is not a reason for deferral. Care should be taken to ensure that the donor is well and not waiting for further tests or results.
