Cancer of the uterine cervix is a worldwide menace taking innumerable womens' lives. The literature is vast and a large number of studies have been conducted in this field. Analyses have shown significant differences exist in terms of screening and HPV testing facilities among high income and low to middle income countries. In addition, acute lack of awareness and knowledge among the concerned ...

S ince 1970, cancer of the uterine cervix has accounted for 10% of all new cases of malignant neoplasms occurring among women in Cuba. Although the age-adjusted incidence rates in women 30-74 years of age have decreased from 41.3 per 100 000 women in 1970 to 37.8 per 100 000 in 1990, mortality from this cancer has not changed significantly over the past 10 years (I). This situation exists in sp...

Carcinoma of the cervix uteri is the commonest type of malignant disease affecting the female genital tract, and, indeed, probably the commonest site for all malignant disease in women. It comprises nearly go per cent. of all cases of carcinoma of the uterus. The commonest age at which the disease occurs is between forty and fifty, though cases have been reported in women as young as twenty. Wi...

An analysis of the cytological records of almost 300,000 women in the Manchester area shows that the rates of positive/suspicious findings from population screening are highly correlated with the rates of mortality from cancer of the cervix when both are distributed according to the occupation of the husband. The correlation holds for various occupational groupings and for all the individual oc...

Age distribution of cancer of the cervix uteri The most recent cancer registration data for England and Wales, relating to 1971,1 show that the peak for invasive carcinoma of the cervix occurs in the age group 50-54 years. Since early diagnosis of this disease affects prognosis, we studied more recent registration data to see whether there has been a trend towards presentation at an earlier age...

REVIEW of the cancer deaths among 1202 staged cases of carcinoma of the cervix treated at the Radiation Therapy Center of the University of Michigan from 1941 through 1964 indicates that each clinical stage is endowed with its own singular mortality trend. The cancer mortality trend of each stage is in our experience independent of the 5-yr survival rate. Improved survival obtained through the ...

Problem statement: Uterine cervix which separates the uterus from the vagina, shows remarkable anatomical and histological differences among mammalian species. Since no cleared observations have been found in regards with the Caspian miniature horses’ cervix, the aim of the present study was to supplement this missing information which could be helpful for providing a stricter basis in detectin...
