Abstract:
In Cuba, approximately 600 women die each year from cervical cancer; these figures express the number of deaths, but not really the incidence of the disease. From the diagnosis of the disease, the nursing staff plays a leading role in the care of these patients. Continuous care aims to give patients comprehensive, biopsychosocial and spiritual care, at all levels and during all phases of the disease. The cervical cancer constitutes one of the entities with the greatest impact and repercussion on women's health, especially among young women.
