Abstract
Introduction: Gynecological cancers are among the most common in women worldwide, with cervical cancer (CC) being the most frequent type and considered an important public health problem. Methodology: This is a descriptive, cross-sectional, observational study with a quantitative approach, in which 76 women who were being treated for CC in 2020 were interviewed through a questionnaire. The data were entered and reviewed in a program spreadsheet editor and analyzed in a statistical program, where the absolute and relative frequencies of the variables of interest were calculated. Results: It was observed that 27.6% of the women were between 41 and 50 years old, 72.4% were brown, 35.5% had not completed elementary school, 53.9% were married or in a stable relationship, 43.4% had a paid job and 56.6% had a monthly family income of one minimum wage, with 38.2% having menarche at the age of 12 years or less, 65.8% reported their first sexual intercourse at 16 or more years of age, 48.7% had five or more pregnancies, 55.3% had no history of miscarriage, 64.5% used or are using hormonal contraceptives, 60.5% did not undergo regular Pap smear tests and 58.82% had a diagnosis of CC at an advanced stage.
