Abstract: Objective To screen the cervical cancer in Sanya gynecological outpatients and investigate their awareness of it. Methods Cervical cancer was screened with questionnaire in gynecological outpatients who visited Hainan branch of Chinese PLA General Hospital from July 2012 to October 2012. Results Of the 660 outpatients who received the questionnaire investigation of cervical cancer, 303(45.91%) received Papanicolaou's vaginal smear, thinprep cytologic test(TCT) and HPV-DNA quantitative test, 172(26.06%) received TCT, 83(15%) received HPV-DNA quantitative test. The incidence of cervical cancer was significantly higher in 120 gynecological outpatients from other places who lived in Sanya for less than 6 consecutive months than in Sanya permanent residents(P<0.05). Conclusion The awareness level and detection rate of cervical cancer and HPV are not high in Sanya gynecological outpatients, cervical cancer-related knowledge and screening should thus be popularized.
