title: [Screening for cancer of the cervix uteri. The role of contraception and socio-occupational class].
abstract: This work was carried out on 12,036 patients. It demonstrates that useful screening for cervical cancer depends on several factors. First among these are age, contraception and the socio-economic class of the man and the woman. These three parameters, while certainly they are linked one with the other, also work independently on the practice of making smears, as a study of these factors using a logistic regression system shows. This study completes the census that we have made on the practice of taking smears for screening in the region of Lyon. It confirms that there is still a lot of work to do to improve the value of such screening methods for larger groups of the population.
