Incidencia del cáncer cervicouterino en mujeres de 25 a 50 años con infección por VPH: análisis de datos y factores asociados.

Abstract

Cervical cancer is still one of the main causes of mortality in women worldwide, but specifically in developing countries where access to preventive strategies is limited, the numbers increase. Objectives: The main objective of this study is to analyze the incidence of cervical cancer in women aged 25 to 50 years associated with the human papillomavirus (HPV). The specific objectives include: determining the incidence of cancer in women in this population, examining the most common risk factors and evaluating the preventive measures used. Methodology: Likewise, to carry them out, the corresponding methodology was used, which consisted of a systematic review based on 321 studies collected from indexed databases such as Scopus, SciELO and Latindex; in this task, after applying inclusion and exclusion criteria, 22 articles were selected for analysis. In this way, the data were processed independently, as well as organized in thematic matrices for synthesis. Results: The results showed that the incidence of cervical cancer remains high in vulnerable populations, with the most relevant risk factors being early onset of sexual activity, multiparity and smoking. Conclusions: It is concluded that, despite the progress, significant gaps in prevention persist, especially in terms of access to health programs. Therefore, it is recommended to expand vaccination coverage together with adequate education to improve outcomes in this population.
