Abstract

Cervical Cancer is the second most frequent female malignancy. The Pap smear is a test that women should undergo preemptively from the beginning of sexual relations to detect early lesions pre-invasive of the epithelium of the cervix to prevent deaths from cervical cancer. The objective of this study was to detect the reasons why women who came to the Hospital of Villa Elisa did not undergo the study of the PAP. It was a longitudinal and deductive, descriptive study, using surveys with a sample of 100 patients who came to the Hospital of Villa Elisa between March and May in 2017. It is concluded that patients who came to the Hospital of Villa Elisa did not perform the PAP test, firstly because of fear to the procedure, and secondly because in their respective places of work they did not give them permission to conduct such a study, although there is a law that licensed to perform PAP and mammography once a year.
