Tubal sterilization and use of an IUD and risk of cervical cancer.

The relationship of tubal sterilization and use of an intrauterine device (IUD) to the risk of invasive squamous cell cervical cancer was evaluated in a case-control study carried out in Shandong, China, from 1989 to 1991. Patients (cases) were 272 women aged 30-77 years with newly diagnosed invasive squamous cell cervical cancer in Shandong Province Tumor Hospital. Controls were 893 randomly selected screened women matched to the cases by age (within 2 years) and county. A decrease in risk was observed in uses of an IUD, especially in long-term users under age 33. A nonsignificant decrease in risk in women under age 33 who had had a tubal ligation was also observed, especially in the first 10 years since the procedure. Tubal ligation and IUD insertion and removal provide opportunities to screen women for cervical cancer and reduce the risk of invasive disease.
