Cervical uterine cancer is a cellular alteration which starts in the cervix epithelium due to the persistence of human papillomavirus oncogenic serotypes and that initially manifests itself through precancerous lesions of slow and progressive evolution. It still is the leading cause of morbidity and mortality in women in developing countries. World statistical data indicates that some 466,000 new cases occur each year, 80% of them in developing countries, of which 274,000 women die, despite being a preventable disease. The objective of this review is to compile information on its prevention and treatment, in order to be used for educational purposes. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The analysis of the health situation allows to characterize, measure and explain the health-illness profile of a population, including damages or health problems, as well as their determinants and trends. It promotes the identification of inequalities in risks, in damages, as well as evaluating the strategies designed for the solution of health problems. However, in practice, it has not become an instrument of daily use for daily work in the community. The objective of this work is to reflect on the health situation analysis and the challenges that this activity still faces in our environment. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
