Abstract
Adenocarcinomas of the uterine cervix (ACs) constitute a relatively rare histologic form of cervical cancer. However, while rates of the more common squamous cell carcinomas of the cervix (SCC) have shown consistent declines in incidence over time in countries where effective cytological screening programs exist, rates of AC have increased over the same period ( 1 – 3 ) . This has led to an increase in the proportion of cervical cancers attributable to AC in many countries. In the United States, ACs now make up more than 20% of all cervical cancer cases diagnosed each year ( 4 ) .Keywords
