Differences in the occurrence and age distribution of lesions in other organs in women with/without cervical neoplasia

Over a 5 1/2 yr study period lesions leading to biopsy were reported in 902 of 3.937 women (23%) with a record of cervical neoplasia, compared to 1,142 of 13,030 controls (9%). This applied irrespective of the severity of the cervical lesion. In women with a record of cervical neoplasia, again irres...

Summary:Over a 5 1/2 yr study period lesions leading to biopsy were reported in 902 of 3.937 women (23%) with a record of cervical neoplasia, compared to 1,142 of 13,030 controls (9%). This applied irrespective of the severity of the cervical lesion. In women with a record of cervical neoplasia, again irrespective of the severity of the lesion, relatively more lesions were seen in other organs in the younger age groups (45 yrs and less). In contrast the number of such lesions increased with age in the controls. While the present study gives no indication of the possible nature of the implied link between cervical neoplasia and the other lesions involved, it is suggested that the possibility of a common virus aetiology should be explored.
