Abstract
|

|
|
According to literature, the risk of developing cervical invasive carcinoma is at least 10 times greater in women not screened by a cervical Papanicolaou smear than in women screened by the same test. We performed cervical Pap smears to investigate the causes and rate of cervical cancer in Yanbian Korean-Chinese women who could not receive the Pap test until now. We administered a questionnaire concerning epidemiological factors of cervical cancer and a free cervical Pap smear was given. It was administered three times from April 2000 to July 2001 for the purpose of producing basic data concerning the management of cervical cancer in Yanbian Korean-Chinese women. Women who had previously received Pap smear tests comprised of 3.6% or 25 out of every 704 women in Yanbian. The results of the Pap smears in the 704 women showed two squamous cell carcinomas(0.3%), 14 LSILs(2.0%), 20 ASCUSs(2.8%), 390 inflammatory changes(55.4%) and 278 negatives(39.5%). Of special note, the HPV infection rate of the Yanbian Korean-Chinese women was recorded as 1.7%(12 persons) which is higher than any other rate found in the literature. I will therefore continue the investigation of cervical HPV typing.
