In order to assess the efficacy of prevention and control programs related to cervix uteri cancers, we compared the incidences of the dia gnosis of this disease in our hospital, during the last 13 years. We studíed 131 charts of patients with 53 (40.5%) precocious and 78 (59.5%) advanced cancers. The diagnosis was made in 1979 (n=73) and 1992 (n=58). The number of precocious cancers increased (p=0.048) during this time, while the advanced ones decreased. The median ages of the patients with precocious cancers diminished from 38.0 y. o., in 1979, to 36.0 y. o., in 1992. However, the median ages of the patients with advanced cancers did not modify 4t=50.0 y. o.). These data suggest that the prevention and control programs did not reach the expected good results. Since the treatment of precocious cancer is cheapper and much Iess agressive. Then the approach of the advanced disease, the prevention of this disease is painless for women, and the charge on our health system would be signiflcantly reduced. This prevention must consider women since before the thirties.
