Abstract

A review of age-specific mortality-rates from cervical cancer in England and Wales and in Scotland in 1968-76 shows a decline, striking at some ages. In England and Wales, however, there has been an increase at ages 25-34 and, possibly, at 15-24. Signs of such an increase are also seen in Scotland for the age-groups 25-34 when figures for two regions with well-established screening programmes are removed. Indeed trends in these regions compared with those for the rest of Scotland support the benefit of cervical screening.
