Abstract: Objective: To analyze the prevalence, clinical presentation and pathological features of cervical cancer. Methods: 678 cases of cervical cancer were divided into the study group (patients under 35 years old) and the control group (patients older than 35 years old). We compared the two groups in terms of prevalence, clinical presentation and pathological features of cervical cancer. Results: The percentage of cervical cancer in the study group was 2.7% (13/475) in 1983-1992, but it was 19.7% (40/203) in 1993～2003 (P<0.001). The percentage of adenocarcinoma in the study group was 30.2% (16/53), but it was 8.2% (51/625) in the control group (P<0.001). The symptom of contact bleeding occurred in 66.0%(35/53) in the study group, but it only occurred in 27.0% (169/625) in the control group (P<0.001). Conclusions: There is an increasing prevalence of cervical cancer, especially cervical adenocarcinoma, in young women. The clinical symptoms of cervical cancer in young women are covert and should be screened for carefully.
