“…The rate of malignant lesions (tumours) in our study (18.2%) is comparable to 16.2% and 12.2% in studies conducted in Benin City(13), and in Enugu, in Nigeria(14) respectively. Studies done in South Africa, Saudi Arabia, India and United States, with malignant lesions at 2.42%, 4.95%, 5.5% and 5.0% respectively, are all at variance with the current study which explains that early cervical cancer screening helps to reduce the prevalence of cervical cancer(15–18).…”

“…The prevalence rate, from this study is in line with the prevalence rates of 6.8 to 16.1% of abnormal cervical epithelial changes reported from northern Nigeria [9]. The prevalence rate of precancerous lesions of the cervix in this study is also similar to the rates of 16.31% and 16.20% reported by Ayodele Omotoso et al and Obaseki DE et al in the Southern part of Nigeria [10,11]. Other researchers who also reported similar prevalence rates compared to this study include: Muhammad Hauwa Inna in a published Thesis online who reported 13.9% [13] as well as the report from Mosuro A.O [13] et al who also reported 13.9% as the prevalence rate of precancerous cervical lesions.…”

“…On the contrary, a prospective study carried out [12] in Edo State, involving all female that came for cervical cancer screening performed in UBTH revealed that the total number of women that turned out for screening was high. This was high due to the effective measures which were put in place indicating a heightened awareness of cervical cancer.…”

World Health Organization [13] identified barriers to cervical cancer screening to include; Lack of awareness of women about cervical cancer screening and insufficient health personnel to carry out this test especially in rural areas.…”
