The research obtained and analyzed facts related to social and cultural issues, as well as the obstetrics and gynecologist background, stating for each one of them, the relative risk and its statistical meaning with a trust degree of 95%. All of these aspects are considered critical causes for the development of cervix and uterine cancer. The results demonstrated that the scholar degree, the age in which the patients started sexual activity, the number of sexual partners, the number of births, the age in which the first birth occurred, and the smoking habits are facts that influence the natural evolution of this disease and should be considered as important background.
