- one of a large range of estimates, but one of the more defensible. Richard Keatinge 17:16, 26 April 2007 (UTC)
I doubt the assertion that prior to the PAP smear, cervical cancer was the leading cause of cancer death in women. I am looking at an NCI graph of cancer mortality trends for women, 1950 to 1990, and it shows the leading causes of cancer death in 1950 to be breast cancer (about 27 per 100,000) and colorectal (similar). Cervical cancer in 1950 is way down at around 11 per 100,000. Graph doesn't go back further and I haven't found a graph on line yet that does. The graph DOES show cervical cancer going down, so I'm not questioning that at all. [[User:Eperotao|Eperotao]] ([[User talk:Eperotao|talk]]) 00:05, 6 March 2011 (UTC)
