Lesiones preinvasoras de cuello uterino: Una visión actual

Abstract

Each year in Chile around 1200 new cases of invasive cervical cancer are reported with 677 death by this cause (death rate: 8.4/100,000 women). The epidemiological causative relation between cervical cancer and human papilloma virus is probably the strongest in the international literature. We analyzed carefully its roll in cervical carcinogenesis and the utility of viral typing in the study and management of an abnormal cytology in the Chilean model of assistance.
