ABSTRACT

At present there is no evidence that hormonal steroids, IUDs, or chemical contraceptives can cause cancer.

Constant research in this area is necessary. In India, where people still fear doctors and where women do not get

annual PAP smear tests, the cytological check-up could be carried out at family planning clinics. This smear

testing could indicate premalignant changes in the cervix, especially those which might be caused by an IUD. A

high level of cytological technology is a prerequisite. (PubHealth.info Document ID: CONT7T 3529-06)
