Patterns of cervical cytological abnormalities according to the Human Development Index in the northeast region of Brazil
BACKGROUND Disparities in cancer incidence and mortality rates between regions arise due to differences in socioeconomic conditions and in human development factors. The major purpose of this study was to measure the role of the Human Development Index (HDI) in the pattern of cervical cytological abnormalities (CCAs). METHODS This was an analytical sectional study involving a review of second...
متن کاملRelationship between Human Papillomavirus Status and Cervical Cytological Abnormalities in a Low Risk Turkish Population
Cervical cancer (CC) is the fourth most common cancer among women worldwide and deaths from CC accounts for 7.5% of all female cancer deaths [1]. Population based screening by Papanicolau (Pap) smear test significantly reduces the incidence of CC and associated mortality in high income countries. However, approximately 75-80% of CC cases are seen in developing countries where efficient screenin...
متن کاملHuman Papillomavirus Infection and Anxiety: Analyses in Women with Low-Grade Cervical Cytological Abnormalities Unaware of Their Infection Status

There are no studies that evaluate repeat screening at a shorter interval in SA. OBJECTIVES (i) To find the incidence of cytological abnormalities on a repeat test after a report of normal cytology or an inadequate Pap smear; and (ii) to ...
متن کاملCytological screening and management of abnormalities in prevention of cervical cancer: an overview with stochastic modelling.
AIMS To develop a mathematical model of the histological changes of precancer and the development of invasive cancer and how these are related to cytological findings. To use this to investigate the effects on incidence of cervical cancer, number of smear tests and colposcopies, of different schedules for cervical screening, and the clinical management policies for dyskaryosis. METHODS A stoc...
