INVASIVE CERVICAL CANCER

Rates have decreased steadily over the past several decades, and as Pap screening has become more prevalent, carcinoma in situ of the cervix is now more frequent than invasive cancer, particularly in women under age 50. (5) In situ refers to cancer that is considered localized or not invasive, therefore, these cases were not included in the data collected.

The national mortality rates have declined 45% over the past 20 years; however, in 1994 the mortality rate for African-American women continued to be more that two times greater than the rate among white women.
