Introduction: there is lack of knowledge about the impact of the Cervical Uterine Cancer Early Screening Program in the health area of Pedro Borrás Astorga University Outpatient Polyclinic. Objective: to evaluate the impact of the Cervical Uterine Cancer Early Screening Program in the health area of Pedro Borrás Astorga University Outpatient Polyclinic, Pinar del Río, years 2004-2011. Material and method: an observation, retrospective and descriptive research was carried out, using the automatized database of the Provincial Medical Office of Cervical Pathology, from the Provincial Records of Cancer and the Province Mortality Records and the health area of Pedro Borrás Astorga University Outpatient Polyclinic in the considered period, and the Province Office of Statistics for a particular year. The annual incidence rate of lesions was determined, specifically by severity and age groups, and also the mortality rate for this cause. Results: the highest number of frequencies of cervical lesions diagnosed was detected in the year 2010 (72 women), the highest frequency corresponded to cervical intraepithelial neoplasias in stage I (low stage) (203 CIN I). The higher the lesions' degree of severity, the lower the frequencies, and thus the annual incidence rates. Mortality for cervical uterine cancer was acarce. Conclusions: increase in the number of premalignant lesions and the annual incidence rates. Increase in the number of premalignant lesions in young women (under 35 years of age) in comparison to those at age 35 or older. Increase in the number of in situ carcinoma within the time period. There was a decreasing tendency in the cases of invading cervical uterine carcinomata and the mortality for cervical uterine cancer.

Keywords : Uterine cervical neoplasms [mortality]; Early detection of cancer.
