Abstract

Objective: This article analyzes the invasive uterine cancer occurrences in women between 20 and 39 years old in Manizales, Colombia, 2003-2018.

Materials and methods: Observational, descriptive, retrospective, population-based study. Temporary trends of occurrences were evaluated (as referring to Population Segi, per 100,000 women / year) by using the Joinpoint regression (Joint Point Regression Program v. 4.7.0.0 of the National Cancer Institute of the USA), in order to estimate annual percentage changes and number of years of significant variation in trends.

Results: The study was carried out with a total of 116 patients, whose average age at the time of diagnosis was 33.7 years. Only 3 invasive cancer cases were found in women between the ages of 20 and 25. The greatest number of cases occurred in the group of women between 35 and 39 years old. The most frequent histological type was squamous cell carcinoma. 45.6% of cases were diagnosed in early stages. The Average Annual Percentage Change calculated using the Joinpoint regression model showed a 7.9% decrease in the incidence rate between 2003 and 2018, with a breaking point in 2010.

Conclusions: Cervical cancer in Manizales is infrequent in women under the age of 25; and, for ages between 20 and 39, it has shown a tendency to decrease over time, particularly from 2010 onwards.
