Objectives:
The authors sought to evaluate how FIGO stage in cervical cancer depends on frequency of gynaecological control.
Material And Methods:
From March 2000 to January 2001, 74 patients with cervical cancer were treated in 2-nd Dept. of Obstetrics and Gynaecology Medical University of Gdańsk. The authors analysed frequency of gynaecological control, although patients age, number of delivery, socio-economic status, living place.
Results:
The median interval, from last gynaecological examination to cervical cancer diagnosis was 8.6 year (1-26), number of delivery: 0-0.5%, 1-10%, 2-21%, 3-21%, 10-1%, 67% patients lived in town and 32.4% in villages.
Conclusion:
Women from Gdańsk area who developed cervical cancer were not gynaecological controlled from 1 to 26 year (median--8.6). Authors noticed that FIGO stage of ovarian cancer depends seriously on interval between last gynaecological control and cervical cancer diagnosis. The old, not working, and those who live in villages in Gdańsk area have an especially low level of health education.

01:30Hormonal Control of the Ovarian Cycle
Before puberty, the hypothalamus releases GnRH in a low frequency, low amplitude pulsatile manner. This along with the immature hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis activity, results in low estrogen levels and the absence of a fully functional ovarian cycle. At puberty, GnRH secretion increases in both frequency and...
