Why Do Women Get Cervical Cancer in an Organized Screening Program in Canada?

Conclusions Although nonparticipation in screening is the greatest factor associated with cervical cancer diagnosis, failure of cervical cytology to detect cytologic abnormalities in women 2 to 3 and 3 to 5 years before diagnosis is of concern. Efforts must be directed to recruitment of women for screening as well as improving the sensitivity of screening tests to detect existing abnormalities.
