    Objective: To determine the risk factors associated with cervical cancer in patients attending the Gynecology-Oncology outpatient clinic at María Auxiliadora Hospital from January to December 2016. Materials and Methods: This was a descriptive, retrospective, observational, and cross-sectional study. A total of 175 medical records of patients diagnosed with cervical cancer were used. Results: Regarding the onset of sexual activity, 58% of the population began sexual relations between the ages of 15 and 19 years, and 58% had 2 to 3 sexual partners. In terms of parity, 46% were multiparous. Concerning contraceptive methods, 40% opted for oral contraceptives. The predominant age range was 20 to 65 years, accounting for 87%. Regarding education level, 44% of the patients had a secondary education. Conclusions: The predominant risk factors for cervical cancer were early initiation of sexual activity, the number of sexual partners, and secondary education level. The prevalence rate was 25 cases per 1000 patients attending the Gynecology-Oncology outpatient clinic at María Auxiliadora Hospital.
