Ítem Acceso Abierto Factores de riesgo del cáncer cervicouterino en mujeres adultas.(Universidad Católica de Cuenca., 2024-04-26) Peralta Mayllasungo, Mayra Estefania; Vicuña Palacios, Andrea; 0650333842Cervical cancer is a major health problem affecting women throughout the world. This study, based on a comprehensive review of the literature, aimed to identify and understand risk factors associated with uterine cancer in adult women. The main objective is to elucidate factors that increase the probability of developing this disease in this population, which will contribute to enriching scientific knowledge and provide valuable information for prevention and early detection strategies. A total of 50 relevant scientific articles on uterine cancer in adult women were collected and reviewed. The PRISMA approach was used for the selection of articles, including specific inclusion criteria to guarantee the quality and relevance of the literature analyzed. The results highlight several key risk factors that influence the incidence of uterine cancer in adult women. Among these factors, persistent human papillomavirus (HPV) infection, premature initiation of sexual intercourse, number of sexual partners, and smoking were identified. The findings provide a more complete picture of the factors that increase the risk of developing the disease. These results emphasize the importance of prevention and early detection strategies, and the need for future studies that delve into the relationship between these factors and uterine cancer. Ultimately, this research provides important insights that can help improve women's health and reduce the burden of cervical cancer on society.
