ABSTRACT

Cervical Cancer, which accounts for roughly 600.000 cases and 375.000 deaths annually worldwide, is the second most common gynecological malignancy after breast cancer. 80–90% of overall cases and 90% of fatal cases occur in developing countries. Africa south of the Sahara pays a heavy toll on this pathology, and Cameroon is no exception. Paradoxically, this Cancer is highly preventable; unfortunately, the fight against cervical cancer stumbles on both a lack of material and human resources. Papanicolaou smear is one of the primary effective preventive methods to fight against cervical Cancer. This study aims to find out the different results we got in these three years-long screening of cervical Cancer using Papanicolaou smear.
