Cervical cancer incidence in the United States in the US‐Mexico border region, 1998–2003

Cervical cancer mortality rates have declined in the United States, primarily because of Papanicolaou testing. However, limited information is available about the incidence of the disease in the US‐Mexico border region, where some of the poorest counties in the United States are located. This study was undertaken to help compare the patterns of cervical cancer incidence among women in the US‐Mexico border region and other parts of the United States.
