Article Abstract
Uterine cervical cancer in Latin American women is a serious health problem. It is the first cause of death among women in their productive years. The programs of early detection haven't improved the survival rates, and so, there is a high prevalence of women with advanced stages of the disease. Hispanic people living in Southern of USA and Central America have an important increase up to three-fold the incidence and mortality attributable to cervical cancer. Poor coverage of cervical cancer detection in Latin American women, low income, population overgrowth, malnutrition and poor sexual education among high risk groups, are the main reasons that threatens survival.
