Cancer of the cervix in figures
Eighth cancer in women in western European countries, cancer of the cervix affects nearly 3 400 women each year and nearly 1 in 000 die during the same period. See the info on cancer cancer of the cervix uteri in Europe and worldwide.
Originally infectious cancer is characterized by a slow evolution that is characterized by the appearance of curable precancerous lesions, but not in all the cases.Sometimes the cancer evolves quickly . As a result, cancer is a preventable condition to use a regular Pap smear screening, a technique not yet available in the countries development.
A very common cancer in developing countries , because the people do not have acces to proper medical care , or routine pap smears.
Cancer of the cervix originates from persistent infection with HPV, cancer of the cervix is globally the second most common cancer in women (after breast cancer) worldwide with 493 000 new cases and 274 000 deaths estimated in 2002.
These figures are dominated by countries developing, which account for 83 percent of new cases.There is a great inequality of distribution by country for the benefit of industrialized countries.There are 2.5 new cases and 100 000 women in Israel against 55 out of 100 000 women in Zimbabwe. Indeed, in industrialized countries, hygiene conditions and the onset of screening cervical smear (FCU) has significantly reduced the incidence and mortality associated with this disease.
The cervical cancer in figures
In the European Union in 2004, it has been estimated at 30 400 the number of new cases of cancer of the cervix (ninth female cancer) and 13 500 deaths (twelfth place) due to cancer .
In France, cancer of the cervix is the eighth female cancer in new cases, with 3 387 cases estimated in 2000. In 2002 cancer of the cervix was the fifteenth largest female deaths from cancer with 904 deaths. However, the prognosis for these cancers remains bleak: the relative survival at 5 years in France is 67.8%. The number of cases and deaths per year steadily decreased between 1978 and 2000.
In 2000, new cases of cancer of the cervix increased from 20 years with a peak among women aged 40 years, followed by a decrease up to 50 years. Mortality is very low in women under 70 years (less than 5 deaths per 100 000 women), it then increases steadily to 15 deaths per 100 000 among women aged 85 and over.
Marketing, reimbursement and recommendations concerning the recent vaccine against papillomavirus infections could contribute to the reduction of cancer of the cervix uteri. But it will still be some years before we can assess the benefits of these products.
