Abstract

In a matched case-control study which comprised 33 cases with cervical carcinoma in situ, 67 cases with invasive cervical cancer, and 100 hospital controls, ever-smoking was found to be significantly related to cervical cancer (Odds ratio = 5.9, 95% confidence interval = 1.2-29.3) after adjustment for a variety of confounding variables.
