“…Tobacco use was not associated with cervical cancer in the present study: recent data (5) suggests that only squamous cell carcinoma might be associated with tobacco smoking, although even this association is still a matter of debate (30,35,36,37). The present case series was insufficient for evaluation of "cigarette smoking" as a risk factor for squamous cell carcinoma.…”

A case-control study on breast, cervix and endometrium cancer cases registered in Ragusa between January 1, 1983 and June 30, 1985 has been conducted. Information on risk factors has been obtained by means of a structured questionnaire. Risk factors for endometrium cancer were: few children (1-2 vs greater than 4 OR 15.18, 95%CL 1.96-117.64), oestrogenic treatment (OR 2.20, 95%CL 1.05-4.90), obesity (Quetelet index greater than 30 vs less than 22 OR 10.42, 95%CL 1.30-83.86), family history (OR 2.87, 95% CL 1.05-7.83). Risk factors for cervix uteri cancer were: multiple abortions (greater than 2 vs 0 OR 9.87, 95%CL 1.46-66.66), no contraception (OR 8.33, 95%CL 2.38-25.00), younger age of mother at birth (OR 6.89, 95%CL 1.71-27.70). Age at menarche, age at menopause and years of fertile life were not found to be related to either endometrium or cervix uteri cancer. The existence of influencing differences (ancestry, environment, lifestyle) has been postulated.

“…Our study demonstrates that similarities exist between cervical squamous and adenocarcinomas with respect to social class, known smoking habit, oestrogen/contraceptive use and time trends, while differences exist with respect to (Wright et al, 1978;Wigle, 1980;Williams & Horm, 1977;Stellman, 1980;La Vecchia et al, 1986 (Bergsjo, 1963;Korhonen, 1980;Menczer et al, 1978;Milsom & Friberg, 1983;Tasker & Collins, 1974). Our finding, that hypertension but not diabetes was associated with adenocarcinoma rather than squamous carcinoma, is also consistent with that of Korhonen (1980).…”

Summary We studied the clinical, demographic and survival characteristics of more than 5,000 women registered with either squamous or adenocarcinoma of the uterine cervix in South Thames Cancer Registry over the period 1968-81. There were similarities with respect to social class, smoking habit, oestrogen/oral contraceptive use and time trends in incidence but differences between the two cancers were found with respect to age distribution, parity, method of detection and survival. Some of the data are of limited value, having been obtained only from case notes, so the results need some caution in their interpretation. However the results are broadly consistent with those of studies performed in other countries on smaller samples. A methodological issue is also raised, viz. the appropriateness of a disease with well-known characteristics as a comparison group. From our results the likely size of various associations can be judged and used in the design of future studies to clarify the epidemiology of cervical adenocarcinoma.

“…The risk factors supported by the medical literature are early age of initiating sexual intercourse, [20][21][22] multiple partners 20,22-25 a sexual partner with multiple partners, 23,26-28 human papillomavirus, 29,30 herpes virus, 20,31 atypia or dysplasia, 32,33 frequent sexually transmitted diseases, 23,26-28 smoking of cigarettes, [34][35][36][37][38][39][40][41] and poor screening compliance. [42][43][44] In this sample of family physicians, the number of reported risk factors considered was relatively low, along with many other risks being identified.…”

Family Physicians' Knowledge of Risk Factors for Cervical Cancer

This sample of family physicians has a limited understanding of the risk factors for cervical cancer. This was true regardless of the age, gender, training, race, geographic location, or practice setting of the responding physician. Yet the usual practice of screening for cervical cancer reported by these physicians would suggest that knowledge and use of risk factors would be a critical aspect of screening for cervical cancer.
