Objective: the research was aimed at describing the health and socio-demographic characteristics of patients suffering from invasive cervical cancer who were attended at the San Vicente de Paul teaching hospital (SVPTH) in Medellin, Colombia, from 1997 to 2002.Study design: this was a retrospective cohort study.Population: every female patient attending SVPTH having a confirmed diagnosis of invasive cervical cancer 1997-2002 was included in the study.Results: a total of 735 patients from 11 Colombian departments (mainly Antioquia, Choco and Cordoba) were attended. 20.6% of these patients had a low educational level, most coming from poor areas. 24.5% had never sought having a Pap smear and only 20% had been diagnosed in stage I. The disease presented clinical behaviour similar to that described in previous studies.Conclusions: a high level of poverty, low educational level, limited Pap smear application and predominance of the disease’s late stages was noticed in the cohort of patients being studied. Although SVPTH is a teaching hospital attending poor people,this scenario should call attention to a catastrophic disease which can and must be prevented.
