Abstract

Cervical cancer is the second most commonly diagnosed cancer among women in less developed countries with the
incidence of about half million new cases and a quarter million deaths worldwide. Croatian cervical cancer epidemiological data lie in the European average and refl ect current social characteristics of the society. Important key is that about 40% of targeted population do not respond to the national strategies proposed for prevention and early detection of cervical cancer. Traditional, well established Croatian preventive programs provide appropriate ground to detect preinvasive and early stages of cervical cancer, which should be regularly updated and refreshed with new discoveries and modern guidelines. Special strategies to motivate and encourage women to use preventive measures should be created and aggressively advertised in all aspects of social life. The objective of this review is to compare several current international guidelines for diagnosis and treatment of cervical cancer, and to present the homogenized management of these patients.
