FRAGMENTO

El cáncer cervical es tan sólo un reflejo de la enorme iniquidad social que sobrellevan las mujeres que lo padecen. En efecto, en los países con elevada incidencia y mortalidad por tumores prevenibles se han observado grandes disparidades en cuanto al acceso a la atención y tratamiento oportunos, lo que en gran medida refleja las enormes desigualdades entre sus ciudadanos. En lo que refiere a la prevención y control del cáncer cervical, se han identificado diversas dimensiones de iniquidad, la primera de ellas es el acceso desigual a los servicios de salud en las mujeres pobres. Adicionalmente, se ha documentado una mala calidad y escasa infraestructura en programas de prevención y control del cáncer cervical en áreas rurales. En el momento actual, la prevención primaria con vacunación contra el virus de papiloma humano (VPH) es inaccesible debido al elevado costo; y finalmente, existe desigualdad de género, no sólo porque la enfermedad es propia de las mujeres, sino porque en muchas poblaciones se privilegia la salud de los hombres en detrimento de la de las mujeres.
