The objective of this descriptive work is to describe mortality due to cervical cancer in 6 states in Venezuela in the period 1995-2010. The selected states were Anzoategui, Aragua, Bolivar, Carabobo, Delta Amacuro and the Capital District. For statistical analysis standardized mortality rate calculations were used; and data were obtained from the Yearbook of Mortality of the Department of the Popular Power for the Health of Venezuela. For the states studied, C53 ranks first with mortality rates at the beginning and end of the period studied always over C54+C55. The total of cervical cancer cases in the states under study during the years 1995-2010 was 8,597.
