| Age | Cervical cancer occurs in adult women of any age. However, the majority of invasive cases are diagnosed in older women. |
| Race & SES* | African American females, as well as women in lower income groups, have been shown to experience higher rates. |
| Other | Strong risk factors for cervical cancer and its precursors include: early age at first intercourse (less than 16 years old), a history of multiple sexual partners, a large number of pregnancies, a history of genital human papilloma virus infection or other sexually transmitted disease, and the presence of other genital tract neoplasia. Exposure to cigarette smoke is also a known risk factor, although by unknown mechanisms. |

No cases of invasive cervical cancer were diagnosed in females less than 25 years of age. Increased screening with routine Pap tests, particularly among older and low-income women, has increased diagnostic rates and helped to reduce the incidence of invasive disease. Today, the vast majority of cases in younger women is diagnosed before the invasive stage, with cure rates approaching 100%. These pre-invasive cases are not included in this report. No health district had significantly more cases than expected based upon rates for the remainder of Idaho.
