Factors influencing cancer of the uterine cervix in north India

Abstract

Cancer of the uterine cervix is the most common malignant tumor among women in India. T h e varying frequency of cervix carcinoma in different parts of the country is dependent upon certain environmental factors, such as socioeconomic conditions, sexual experience, age a t marriage, fertility, and penile hygiene. This paper is based upon a clinical and statistical analysis of 693 cases of cervix carcinoma diagnosed from a population study of 39,587 women who were screened by vaginal smear examination. T h e findings of this study suggest the importance of the socioeconomic factors of poverty, rapid sexual maturation, early marriage and consequent early sexual experience, and early p r e g nancy and multiparity in producing the high incidence of cancer of uterine cervix in Indian women.

Diagnostic Modalities of Precancerous and Cancerous Cervical Lesions with Special Emphasis on CD31 Angiogenesis Factor as a Marker

“…Severity of lesions increased with increasing parity indicating that trauma and child birth are predisposed to cervical lesions. The results of our study correlate with that of Rohtagi and Wahi et al [4, 5]. CIN III and carcinoma were found in 52.2% of patients which belonged to a lower socioeconomic status, whereas only 13.3% belonged to higher socioeconomic status which was in concordance with the study conducted by Sankaranarayanan et al who found that 8% of their cases was a from higher socioeconomic group [6].…”
