Abstract
Background Cervical Cancer is an important cause of morbidity and mortality in women worldwide. In developing countries where healthcare resources are limited, the second frequent cause of cancer death in women is cancer cervix. With appropriate diagnosis, treatment and follow-up, Cervical Cancer can be prevented and cured at low cost with the available screening for asymptomatic women. Therefore socio-demographic risk quantification of cancer cervix has taken prime importance in evolution of programmes in public health for cancer cervix control. AIM This study compares the socio-demographic profile of patients with carcinoma cervix attending IOG in the current period 2014-15 with that of 5 years ago i.e.2009-10 Materials and Methods It is a retrospective case control study conducted at Institute of Obstetrics & Gynaecology Egmore, Chennai 8. The duration of study was one year and six months This is a record based comparative and descriptive study conducted in IOG. The data source is from IOG audit. The sociodemographic profile of carcinoma cervix patients who were treated in IOG in the current study period 2014-2015 will be compared with that of 5 years ago 2009-2010.The detailed history will be recorded in the proforma. Place of Study Institute of Obstetrics & Gynaecology Egmore, Chennai 8. Results In this study, the number of cancer cervix detected patients increased to 81%in the current period when compared to the previous period .In the age group of less than 35 years in 2009-2010 the detection is 31.7% whereas in 2014-2015 it is 68.3%. This shows early detection of cases in the present period .Subsequently the detection in other age group is also increasing than the previous period .Eventhough age distribution between two periods are not statistically significant as evidenced by chi square of 2.658 and p value of 0.617 ,the distribution of number of cases between two periods are uniformly increasing. Conclusion With the changes in the socio-economic profile, different screening strategies, and easy accessibility of screening services and with increased awareness among women including women from rural areas with adequate literacy rate, there is an elevation of cancer cervix detection in the early. stage itself in the current period when compared to the previous period. With early detection, patients could be treated effectively and the morbidity and mortality could be decreased.
