MARTINEZ MARTINEZPINILLO, Angela et al. Analysis of major risk factors related to cervicouterine cancer in women under 30 years. Rev Cubana Obstet Ginecol [online]. 2010, vol.36, n.1, pp. 52-65. ISSN 1561-3062.

OBJECTIVE: To study the main risk factors in the appearance of the cervicouterine cancer in women aged < 30, seen in the National Institute Oncology and Radiobiology (NIOR) during eleven years, as well as to assess the benefits of treatment(s) applied for its clinical stage. METHODS: A descriptive and retrospective study was conducted on 342 clinical files corresponding to young women < 30 years diagnosed with cervicouterine cancer (CUC) seen in National Institute of Oncology and Radiobiology (NIOR) during 11 years. For information collection a Microsoft Excel form applying the SPSS 11.1 statistic package. RESULTS: We founded that 4/5 patients from total of women < 30 years were diagnosed between 25 and 30 years old, whereas 1/5 of patients were < 25 years old. Cervical epidermoid carcinoma was he more frequent tumor (80%). Treatment includes: surgery (47,4%), radiotherapy (42,1%) and surgery plus radiotherapy or vice versa. Risk factors with a great association with CUC were sexual precocity and presence of HPV(?) in the 27,5%. The 34,5% of women < 30 years old fortunately were carriers of in situ carcinoma. However, the 47% of patients included in present analysis had locally advanced tumors (IIa, IIb and IIIb). CONCLUSION: The cervical epidermoid carcinoma was the more frequent tumor present in women < 30 years old diagnosed with CUC.
