Cancer Epidemiology and Control in Women in Latin America and the Caribbean
This work deals extensively with the two types of cancer which, because of their frequency and mortality, most affect women health in Latin America and Caribbean countries—namely, cancer of the cervix and of the breast. Other specific cancers of the female genital organs—the endometrium and the ovaries—are briefly described. The fundamental objective of this analysis is to increase interest in research and prevention of women’s cancer. (In: Gómez Gómez, E., ed. Gender, women and health in the Americas. Washington, DC: PAHO; 1993. (Scientific publication 541). pp. 90-103.)
