Cervical cancer in women under 30 years of age in Norway: a population-based cohort study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

We compared women with incident cervical cancer under the age of 30 with older women with regard to stage, morphology, screening history and cervical cancer mortality in a population-based cohort study.

Methods

We included data from the Cancer Registry of Norway. Incidence rates (per 100,000 women-years) were calculated and joinpoint regression was used to analyse trends. The Nelson-Aalen cumulative hazard function for risk of cervical cancer death during a 15-year follow-up was displayed. The hazard ratios (HRs) of cervical cancer mortality with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were derived from Cox regression models.

Results

The incidence of cervical cancer in women under the age of 30 has almost tripled since the 1950s, with the steepest increase during 19
