Clinical Audit of Patients with Cervical Cancer

摘要

The data on newly detected patients with invasive cevical cancer (CC) in 2003 who regularly attended their gynecologist in the last 5 years before the diagnosis were gathered simultaneously with the purpose of clinical audit. The data were collected from the questionnaires that were, by the consent of each patient involved, returned to us by the gynecologists who had been treating these patients. Of 149 patients in whom invasive CC was diagnosed, 92 (61.7%) patients were examined by a gynecologist in the last five years. In 89.8% of patients, CC was diagnosed as stage I and 12.5% of patients underwent conization few years before the diagnosis of CC. In the periods of 13-24 and of 7-12 months before the diagnosis of CC, almost half of the patients had PAP II (atypical squamous or glandular cells or mildly dyskariotic cells).
