title: [Etiology of cancer of the cervix uteri. An account of 150 years' research].
abstract: One hundred and fifty years ago, a descriptive study showed that marriage was a risk factor in cervical carcinoma. More recent analytical epidemiological studies have shown that this carcinoma was a sexually transmitted disease. Great strides in molecular biology have made it possible to assign to some human papillomavirus form a strong aetiological role in the disease.
