[Cervico-vaginal screening in the Abruzzo region].
This study focuses on cervical cancer and the importance of establishing a suitable screening programme. The results of a study carried out in the Abruzzo region during a 10-year sample period are reported. A Population of 36,663 patients, of which 3,372 had never been screened, was included in the study. All patients were attending the Centre of Cytology and Colposcopy at the Clinic of Obstetrics and Gynecology in L'Aquila. In order to make progress in both the diagnosis and treatment of this pathology, it is necessary not only to obtain an interdisciplinary approach with constant cooperation between professional colleagues (cytologist, colposcopist and histologist), but also an increased sensitivity of the population to the need for screening.
