Abstract
Correlation between various epidemiological factors and carcinoma cervix patients in North Bengal zone has been studied for the first time. Significant correlation between elderly women (41-50 years age group), low socio-economic status (SES), first coitus before 17 years of age, low literacy rate and this illness has been established. Suggestion has been made for improvement of the picture. Oncology and radiotherapy department of North Bengal Medical College and Hospital should be utilised as the centre for National Cancer Registration Project in North Bengal zone.
