[Epidemiology of cervical cancer in Austria]

In cooperation with the Austrian National Institute for Statistics the incidence rates of cancer of the cervix uteri in Austria in the period of 1971--1975 were investigated. Not only the different federal countries but also the political districts were concerned by this study. The main findings were a relative high rate of women less than 40 years of age and severe regional differences. Problems in the registration of incidence rates of cancer are pointed out.
