Abstract: Objective:To investigate the clinicopathologic characteristics and etiological factors of cervical cancer in young Uygur women in Xinjiang. Methods:We reviewed 350 cases of young Uygur females diagnosed with cervical cancer in our hospital during 1998-2007. The patients were divided into two groups according to their admission time ( 1998~2002group and 2003~2007group).Results:The incidence of cervical carcinoma among yong Uygur women was 12.9% in the1998-2002group and 10. 3% in the 2003-2007group. The first symptom was vaginal contactive bleeding. In both groups, most patients were peasants, but the percentages of highbrow was higher in the2003~2007group. Patients in the2003~2007group were of older age at first marriage and had lower rate of abortion. There was no significant difference in histological type between the two groups. However, patients in the 2003~2007group presented with much earlier stage of cervical cancer and 56.9% of them were of stage Ⅱdisease, compared with 18.1% in the 1998-2002group (P<0.05). Squamous cell carcinoma was the dominant histological type. Conclusion:The incidence of cervical carcinoma in young Uygur women tends to decrease due to screening and advocation of late marriage, less reproduction in remote rural areas of Xinjiang.
