Summary: | A descriptive and cross-sectional study of 125 patients, assisted in the Neck Pathology Service, belonging to the health area of the "Municipal" University Polyclinic inSantiago de Cuba, was carried out during 2016, aimed at describing the main factors that favored the emergence of cervical cancer. In the series there was a prevalence of grade I intracervical neoplasm, chronic cervicitis and women whose sexual relationships began at 15-19 years (68.8 %). The presence of leukorrhea, postcoital bledding and human papilloma virus as history of sexual transmitted infection was significant. The necessity that health professionals consolidate their theoretical and practical knowledge on cervical cancer, with emphasis in the sexual and reproductive education of women, through the promotion and health prevention in primary care was demonstrated. |
