By the year 2000, some76 000 cervical cancer and almost 30 000 deaths wereestimated for the whole region, which represent 16% and13% of the world burden, respectively. Thus, Latin Americancountries are among those with highest incidence rates inthe world, together with countries from Sub-Saharan Africa,South and South East Asia. Variation in incidence amongcountries is large. Very high rates are found in Haiti (ASR93.9 per 100 000), Nicaragua (ASR 61.1 per 100 000) andBolivia (ASR 58.1 per 100 000). It seems unlikely that differencesin risks in the region can be explained as the resultof screening activities. Several descriptive studies carriedout to evaluate the screening programmes in Latin Americahave pointed out problems related to insufficient coverageand frequency of screening. Other related problems includeinadequate collection and reading of cytological samplingsas well as incomplete follow-up of women after the test.The main challenge for Latin America countries remains onhow to organize effective screening programmes, and forthis, a real and urgent commitment from public health services and decision-makers in the region is needed.Thispaper is available too at: http://www.insp.mx/salud/index.html 2003 artículo científico 0036-3634 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=10609704 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=106 Salud Pública de México application/pdf Instituto Nacional de Salud Pública Salud Pública de México (México) Num.3 Vol.45 |
