In Poland since 2005 early detection of cervical cancer program have been held. It is directed to women between 25 and 59 years of age. Beside the cytological examination of the uterine cervix smear, for better definition of risk groups, all patients are requested to fill the questionnaire. Among factors that could be related to development of cancer in this localization is tobacco smoking. In this studies authors analized the changes of cervical cytology in respect of tobacco smoking by female patients.
