Some epidemiological factors of the uterine cervix carcinoma in Slovakia during years 1990-2000 are analysed in the work. Incidence of the disease did not seriously change during this period (18.5/100 000 women in the year 1990, 17.9/100 000 women in the year 2000). The number of higher stages (III. and IV.) of the disease increased. The ratio of diagnosed invasive forms and number of carcinoma in situ was during the monitored period stable, approximately 2:1. The highest incidence of the disease was between 35-50th year of life. Mortality increased during the monitored period from 6.91/100 000 women in the year 1990 to 7.93/100 000 women in the year 2000. The highest mortality rate (6.36) was in the year 1991. From all women deceasing for malignant diseases per year, the mortality from uterine cervix carcinoma makes approximately 4.5 %. We observed significant differences when incidence and mortality in single district was compared.
