RESUMEN

Objetivo:

Investigar los carcinomas cervicales, en el período 1996-2005, en nuestra área sanitaria de Asturias. Estudiar la edad media de las pacientes con adenocarcinoma, carcinoma escamoso y la influencia del cribado citológico en el diagnóstico. Establecer el promedio de citologías negativas en mujeres sin infección por virus del papiloma humano. Material y

métodos:

Se obtuvieron los cánceres cervicales, el diagnóstico de la citología previa y el tiempo transcurrido desde la citología precedente. Para el análisis estadístico se aplicó la prueba de Mann-Whitney. Se estableció el promedio de citologías negativas en mujeres sanas durante ese período.

Resultados:

Se encontraron 67 cánceres invasivos cervicales, 49 escamosos y 18 adenocarcinomas. En el 40% de las pacientes nunca se realizó una citología. La edad media era de 59 años para los escamosos y de 49 años para los adenocarcinomas. El promedio de citologías negativas en mujeres sanas fue de 3,59.

Conclusiones:

El cribado oportunista, el más común en España, es inaccesible e ineficaz para muchas mujeres con carcinoma cervical, y consume recursos sanitarios en realizar citologías
innecesarias a mujeres sanas (AU)
ABSTRACT

Objective:

To investigate the number of invasive cervical carcinomas detected in our hospital over a 10-year period (1996-2005), to study the mean age at diagnosis of squamous cell carcinomas, adenocarcinomas, and the relation of cervical screening in its diagnosis. Establish the mean number of negative smears in women without cervical human papilloma virus (HPV) infection. Material and

methods:

Data on all diagnoses of cervical cancer, the presence of smear tests prior to biopsy, and the interval between the two procedures were gathered. The Mann-Whitney test was applied. The mean number of negative cytologies without evidence of HPV infection during the period studied was established.

Results:

Between 1996 and 2005, 67 cervical carcinomas (49 squamous cell carcinomas and 18 adenocarcinomas) were diagnosed. In 40% cytology had never been performed. The mean age at diagnosis was 59 years for squamous cell carcinoma and was 49 years for adenocarcinoma. The mean number of negative cytologies per healthy woman was 3.59.

Conclusions:

Opportunistic screening for cervical cancer, the most common form of screening in Spain, is not accessible to many women with cervical carcinoma and wastes substantial healthcare resources on performing unneccessary cytologies in healthy women (AU)
