Impacto de la pandemia COVID-19 en el tiempo entre la detección de lesiones premalignas de cuello de útero y su tratamiento

Abstract

Introduction: The COVID-19 pandemic has affected women's health and, in particular, sexual and reproductive rights. In the context of healthcare changes due to the COVID 19 pandemic, the screening and follow-up of premalignant lesions of cervical cancer (CC) could be affected, putting their timely diagnosis and early treatment at risk. The objective of this study is to report the times elapsed between the result of the pathological screening and the treatment of premalignant CCU lesions, comparing them with the periods established by the current ministerial ordinance and comparing the times observed before and during the pandemic.
