Carcinoma of the cervix is by far the commonest gynecologic malignancy in Ibadan. In a histopathologic study of the disease, 93.9% of all the cases were found to be of the squamous cell carcinoma variety while 6.1% were of the adenocarcinoma group. It was found that most patients with the well differentiated squamous cell carcinoma were above the age of 45 years in contrast to the undifferentiated carcinoma. Even though the difference was not statistically significant, it was speculated that cervical cancer manifesting itself before the age of 45 years may be more aggressive than that occurring in older women. Similarly, it was shown that increasing age, more frequent marriages and parity may augment the possibilities, at least in the negro population, of a woman developing adenocarcinoma of the cervix.
宫颈癌是伊巴丹目前最常见的妇科恶性肿瘤。在对该疾病的组织病理学研究中，发现所有病例的93.9%为鳞状细胞癌，而6.1%为腺癌组。研究发现，高分化鳞状细胞癌的大多数患者年龄在45岁以上，与未分化癌形成对比。尽管差异无统计学意义，但据推测，45岁之前出现的宫颈癌可能比老年女性患的宫颈癌更具侵袭性。同样，研究表明，年龄增长、结婚更频繁和多产可能会增加女性患宫颈癌的可能性，至少在黑人人群中如此。
