Abstract
The exceptional accessibility of the cervix (cervix uteri) and direct physical examination have allowed intensive research into the nature of the malignant lesions of the cervix. Studies have shown that many of these tumors have no explosive but gradual onset. Their pre-invasive antecedents may persist for two-way surfaces or in situ disease for several years, although this may change, at least in some patients. There is convincing evidence that the cytological screening programs are effective in reducing mortality from cervical cancer. Screening has not only reduced the incidence and mortality rate but has also found many women with pre-invasive neoplasia (which is the role of screening
rather than diagnosing cancer). From the results of the Institute of Public Health of the Republic of Northern Macedonia for two years 2016 and 2017, it is concluded that the cervical cancer mortality rate in 2016 is significantly higher than in 2017, where the screening program is more developed and higher and there’s more coverage of at-risk patient group (50+ years). In 2016, 87.4% had normal results, while 12.6% had cellular abnormalities, compared to 2017 - 76.2% had normal results, while 23.8% had cellular abnormalities. The mortality rate in 2017 from cervical cancer is 30 which is lower than in 2016. This situation points to the necessity of increasing the coverage of women in the Program for screening and promoting the implementation of the Program by the Ministry of Health as soon as possible.
