Prevalence rates of uterine cervical carcinoma in situ for women using the diaphragm or contraceptive oral steroids

M R Melamed et al. Br Med J. .

Abstract

Study of the prevalence rates of uterine cervical carcinoma in situ among women attending centres of Planned Parenthood of New York City, Inc., showed a small but statistically significant difference between the population choosing and using the diaphragm and the population choosing and using oral steroids for contraception. This can be attributed either to a decreased prevalence rate for women using the diaphragm or to an increased rate for women using oral steroids. The reason for the difference is not apparent from these data.
