Abstract

In a low-income community, 52% of new invasive cancer of the cervix arose in women who had no previous Pap smear, while 62% arose in women with no smear within 5 yr. In the previous 5 yr, 73% of the unscreened women had received ambulatory medical care (including 41% who had regular care for chronic conditions), while 16% were hospitalized. Much of the unscreened low-income population could be reached by routine screening in regular ambulatory health services and hospitals.
