| Popis: | Cervical cancer has been extensively studied, as well as the various risk factors for that cancer. One such factor is the prolonged use of hormonal contraceptives.To report the biological, immunological and epidemiological findings arising from the use of oral contraceptives and their relation to cervical cancer.Retrospective study based on information published in national and international literature.Controversy persists between the epidemiological data and experimental biological association between hormonal contraceptives and cancer induced by HPV. It is important to consider the biological findings because in Mexico the use of hormonal contraceptives is very broad and the number of cases of cervical cancer and only extensive epidemiological studies will clarify this controversy. |
