    (Universidad Privada Norbert Wiener, 1905-07-07) Zegarra Uchiri, Christian Giovanni; Cárdenas Dávila, Carlos Gernier
    This study was conducted with the aim of determining the prevalence of cervical cancer precursor lesions in the female population who attended the Alberto Barton-Callao health center in 2011, relating these findings to potential risk factors. The Papanicolaou results of 809 women aged between 15 and 71 years were reviewed. The sample included 51 cases of abnormal cytologies, among which 16 were ASCUS, 12 with LIBG due to HPV, 19 with mild dysplasia (CIN I), 3 with moderate dysplasia (CIN II), and 1 case with severe dysplasia (CIN III). Among the risk factors, 70.2% started sexual activity before the age of 18, 81.2% had more than 3 sexual partners, 11.4% had 5 or more pregnancies, 36.5% used hormonal contraceptives or an IUD, and 78.5% had their last Pap smear 3 or more years ago or had never had one. On the other hand, 39.9% presented infectious agents. The data were processed using SPSS statistical software. It was concluded that the prevalence of cervical cancer precursor lesions was 6.3%. Among the associated risk factors, the number of sexual partners was statistically significant. It is recommended to conduct new studies addressing other risk factors and to promote timely cervical cancer screening programs.
