| Abstract | Objective: to establish the mean age at diagnosis of malignant or pre-malignant cervical lesions in patients treated at Erasto Gaertner Hospital, in Curitiba/PR, between the years of 2009 and 2011, in order to compare these data with the guidelines of the Brazilian Ministry of Health. Methods: retrospective analysis of 3136 medical records of patients from Erasto Gaertner Hospital. Alternative sources were consulted for the complementation of the study. Results: The lowest average age was 29,24 years, being 49,25 for invasive cancer and 34,47 for cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN). Only 0.4% of patients with invasive cancer were younger than 25 years. The most common diagnosis among patients younger than 25 years was CIN II. It was observed that the lower average age occurred in patients with CIN I, and it was over 25 years, therefore agreeing with literature. However, disagreeing with this, the most common diagnosis in patients under 25 years was CIN II. Conclusion: if the screening is initiated at 25 years old, the majority cases of malignant and premalignant cervical lesions would have been diagnosed. However, there is a possibility of under-diagnosis of CIN II, partially agreeing with the recommendations of the Ministry of Health. |
