TL;DR
The Finnish mass screening program for cervical squamous carcinoma and adenocarcinoma has been effective and its continuation is of utmost importance, and more attention should be given to glandular cell atypias in cervical smears to decrease the incidence.
Abstract
The Finnish mass screening program has been effective and its continuation is of utmost importance. In the future more attention should be given to glandular cell atypias in cervical smears. Thus, it might be possible to decrease the incidence of cervical adenocarcinoma.

The numbers of new cancer cases in 16 common sites occurring in 1980 have been estimated and it is suggested that, with declining incidence rates for stomach cancer and the continuing rise for lung cancer, the latter would become the most common cancer in the world by the end of 1981.

Although this cancer detection system has been effective in reducing the rate of morbidity and mortality from invasive cervical cancer in appropriately screened populations, there is no evidence that the Papanicolaou test has succeeded anywhere in complete eradication of this theoretically preventable disease.

Declining trends in cervical cancer appear related to the widespread use of cervical cytologic screening programs, which have counteracted increases anticipated from changes in risk factor prevalence.

Risks were similar for women with and without a recent Pap smear, arguing against detection bias, and some support for an adverse effect of oral contraceptives on cervical cancer risk is provided, although possibly limited only to a subpopulation of cases.

Age‐specific incidence curves for clinical cancer of the cervix in England and Wales show progressive changes over the period 1963–1978; in particular, a large reduction is seen in the age group 35–54, with clear cohort effects on incidence.

In 1925, when for the first time I had occasion to discuss with the late Dr. James Ewing, then Professor of Pathology in the authors' School at Cornell, the possibility of using the vaginal smear as a smear for gynecological examinations was discussed.

The increase in adenocarcinoma, unlike risk from cervical cancer generally, was most striking among young women residing in middle-to-upper income neighborhoods, who were the first to use OC's; in this subgroup the average rate of increase was 16% per year (P less than .05).

The 5- and 10-year relative survival rates were highest for patients with squamous cell carcinoma at all stages, whereas a significantly less favorable prognosis was found for females with adenocarcinoma and undifferentiated cancer of the uterine cervix.

The data provide limited support to the suggestion that the 2 histological types of cervical cancer may have different etiologies, and there has been a marked increase in the incidence of adenocarcinoma in young women which cannot be explained by more accurate classification of previously unspecified cancer.
