Worldwide incidence of cervical lesions: a systematic review

Abstract: We conducted a systematic review summarizing data on incidence of high- and low-grade lesions in women with normal baseline cervical cytology, stratified by age (<30 and ⩾30 years), and baseline human papillomavirus (HPV) infection. Incidence of high- and low-grade lesions in women aged ⩾30 years with a baseline HPV infection increased over follow-up time (5-127 months), although incidence generally remained <10%. Without baseline HPV infection, incidence of high-grade lesions remained low over follow-up time … Show more

“…HPV 16 is described as responsible for the majority of HPV-associated cancers [3,4,6,17]. Our results demonstrated that HPV 16 was the most frequent type found in women from South Bahia (29%, 95% CI 20·7-38·9), similar with findings reported by Oliveira-Silva in Rio de Janeiro (28%).…”

“…The incidence rates of cervical cancer have declined over the past three decades in most developing countries, due mainly to prevention programs implemented. Methods that allow early screening are extremely important for defining treatment and containing the infection [3][4][5][6][7]. The high prevalence found in this study could be associated with the combination of different methodologies employed, the sampling number and the sample source (public health units).…”

“…There is a gap of 10–20 years between pre-cancer and cancer which offers an opportunity to screen, detect and treat pre-cancer and avoid its progression to cancer. Immunocompromised women, however, progress more frequently and more quickly to pre-cancer and cancer [ 5 , 6 ].…”

“…In the year 2018, 570,000 new cases of CC and 311,000 CC-associated deaths were reported worldwide. Intriguingly, 87 % of all cases occurred in developing countries [2]. The Xinjiang region has one of the highest rates of CC incidence in China, and the CC incidence can be up to 3.4 times greater in Uyghur woman than in Han women [3][4].…”
