Abstract:
One hundred and twenty-two patients with confirmed cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN), as a result of occasional screening for uterine cervix cancer in our out-patient clinic between July 2006 and August 2007, and 122 control patients with cervicitis who received colposcopy during the same period were enrolled in this study. Our results showed that 72% participants didn't receive uterine cervix cancer screening during the past 2 years; 55% women had premarital sexual behavior. CIN was most commonly seen in 30 to 34 year old women. Occasional screening could identify 75% CIN. In comparison with the control group, the incidence of earlier first sexual behavior, marriage, and delivery, multiple pregnancy, and frequent abortion was significantly increased in the study group (P < 0.05). We suggest that increased access to uterine cervix cancer screening might be more important than technical improvement.
