ABSTRACT
The study looked at why women developed invasive cervical cancer during a 10-year period. It reviewed the hospital records of 66 patients with cervical cancer with an age range of 21-81 years. Screening non-attenders accounted for a disproportionate number of cases. The proportion of women who had never been screened did not vary during the study period. Attention needs to focus on reasons why these women do not attend.
