[Cervical cancer in the young woman].
OBJECTIVE
To study the frequency, the histological type, the stages, and prognosis of cancer of the cervix in women under 35 years of age or less.


METHODS
A retrospective analysis of a series of 1,024 cases notes of which 63 dealt with young women. The therapeutic modalities are the same throughout the whole duration of the study from 1975-1988.


RESULTS
There was no increase in the incidence of cancer in young women. The incidence of epidermoid cancer dropped. However, mixed adenosquamous tumours were more frequent. There is a predominance of stages I cancers. The survival taking all stages together is at 5, 10 and 15 years better in young women. All the same, taking stage by stage there is no difference in the prognosis.
