LEON CRUZ, Grettell et al. Incidence of risk factor in Cuban women diagnosed with cervical oncologic lesions. Rev cubana med [online]. 2009, vol.48, n.1. ISSN 0034-7523.

Authors studied incidence of main risk factors including age at first sexual intercourse, promiscuity, sexual communicable diseases, etc related to appearance of cervical neoplasia lesions present in women infected by human papilloma virus (HPV). Study included 230 women; 93 diagnosed with intra-epithelial neoplasia (IEN), and 137 with established carcinoma. We found a peak incidence between 25 and 35 years, the age at first sexual intercourse and of the first pregnancy was at 17 years old, with 4 pregnancies as average, and that 70 % has at least an interruption of them. Number of pairs fluctuated between one up to 8 partners. The contraceptive method chosen were the intrauterine ones. All patients showed high levels of sexual hormones, increase of progesterone was in parallel with the progression of disease. Incidence of sexual communicable diseases was higher in patients with IEN, they were strong smokers, but with a consumption lower than those with established carcinoma. We conclude that risk factors could be involved in progression of lesions started by HPV.
