CAMACHO RODRIGUEZ, Doriam; REYES RIOS, Luz Ángela e GONZALEZ RUIZ, Gisela Esther. NEOPLASTIC LESIONS OF THE CERVIX IN WOMEN FROM A COLOMBIAN UNIVERSITY. Hacia promoc. Salud [online]. 2013, vol.18, n.1, pp.13-25. ISSN 0121-7577.
Objective: To identify the incidence and risk factors of cervical cancer in a Colombian university. Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional, quantitative descriptive study was carried out. The sample consisted of 328 women of a university in the city of Santa Marta, aged between 16 and 50 years, who had initiated their sexual life and volunteered to take two tests, a Pap smear and a frotis vaginal, which were taken and interpreted between February and July 2011. Results: Thirteen (13) cases of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia grade I were found for an incidence of 6.9 new cases per thousand women in reproductive age. High correlation was found between neoplastic lesions and number of sexual partners (C.A. = 69.73%). Conclusions: The incidence found was high in relation to the national average (21.5 per 100,000 women) and associated factors correspond to those found in other studies.
