摘要：Cervical cancer is a public health problem in Colombia. In the department of Magdalena deficiencies have been detected in offering screening programs which results in low coverage figures. This paper analyzes the behavior of the program in 2011 in the city of Santa Marta. Results: 10.218 cytologies were done, 740 (7, 23%) were abnormal, 493 (4,82) low grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (LSIL), 86 (0,84%) high grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (HSIL) and 8 (0,07%) invasive cancer. 1164 (11,37%) smears were performed on patients for the first time. Conclusions: We should increase the coverage if you consider that the district identifies 1 case of carcinoma in situ per 100 patients screened (1%); monitor identified sectors and social groups in which the proportion of cytological abnormalities is higher.
