Carcinoma of the cervix in oral contraceptive steroid and IUD users and nonusers

A total of 40,211 cytologic examinations and subsequent diagnostic procedures resulted in the diagnosis of carcinoma of the cervix in 76 patients. The 76 patients did not demonstrate any variations in use of oral contraceptive steroids or intrauterine devices when compared to 780 randomly selected control patients. This study is in agreement with our earlier report demonstrating no increased risk of carcinoma of the cervix in oral contraceptive steroid users compared to nonusers.
