• Description:
  Estimates on the frequency of cancer of the cervix in a West Virginia county were dedetermined to be 46/100,000 (incidence rate) and 123/100,000 (period prevalence rate). The seemingly high rate of cervical cancer based on crude estimates implies that the study county represents a high risk population which would benefit from an intensive Papanicolaou stain program.
