Most of women were married, had one sexual partner, 60% of them had around one and two children. As for the result of the cytology 9.5% presented class I and 87.6% class II. From the total 2.9% presented intraepithelial neoplasm, and 2.0% showed cytological changes induced by HPV infection. The risk factors observed for the development of gynecological cancer were: multiplicity of partners, smoking, and history of STD, multiparity, sexual precocity and presence of intraepithelial neoplasia.
