Today, cervical cancer remains a significant cause of mortality among women globally – it is the third cause of death among all types of cancer – even though it has a high-demonstrated potential for secondary prevention. It is a preventable and curable disease, at low cost and low risk, when screening of asymptomatic women is available, together with appropriate diagnosis, treatment and follow-up. Yet prevention programs in Latin America and the Caribbean have met with limited or no success.
This article presents a summary of the situation of the disease in the Region, and presents current efforts to prevent it, as well as elements of the strategy proposed by the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO) and its Plan of Action for the prevention and control of cervical cancer.| Date added: | 04/05/2013 |

El desafío de la epidemiología representa la culminación de un esfuerzo realizado en colaboración. Participaron en la preparación del libro dos unidades de la Organización Panamericana de la Salud, de Análisis de la Situación de Salud y sus Tendencias y de Desarrollo de Recursos Humanos de Salud. El Dr. Cío vis H. Tigre, epidemiólogo asignado a la primera de estas unidades, coordinó la producción del libro, y un grupo de editores integrado por cuatro eminentes epidemiólogos —Carol Buck, de la Universidad de Ontario Occidental, Canadá; Alvaro Llopis, de la Universidad Central de Venezuela; Enrique Nájera, de la Universidad de Sevilla, España, y Milton Terris, del Journal of Public Health Policy— seleccionaron artículos para la antología y tuvieron discusiones de fondo sobre cada parte de la misma. Estas discusiones, destinadas a proporcionar una estructura para los artículos, se grabaron y transcribieron de las propias reuniones realizadas por los editores; se han mantenido en su estilo original para conservar las opiniones de los editores y el espíritu de sus discusiones.
