SOR carcinoma of the cervix

Abstract

Cervical cancer is the second most common cancer in women. In France, the standardized incidence in 1990 was 9.4 per 100 000. Uncommon under the age of 30, the incidence increases progressively thereafter to around 50 per 100 000 between the ages of 50 and 70 years. The standardized death rate is 3.5 per 100 000 in France and 3.9 per 100 00 in Europe. This document covers the diagnostic and therapeutic management of microinvasive and invasive carcinomas of the cervix and excludes the screening or management of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia. These guidelines were validated in July 2000 and will be updated according to the publication of new data.
