Abstract: Cytological screening has been carried out in rural women of Lucknow West, India through camp approach to detect early cases of cervical cancer and to find out relation between poor living conditions in the villages and predisposing factors of cervical carcinogenesis. Between May 2013 and March 2017, a total of 135 camps have been organized under the auspecies of Era’s Lucknow Medical College and Hospital, Lucknow, India. Only 4269 (31.2%) out of 13500 women motivated and counseled have attended the camp and 2369 (55.1%) of these have undergone Pap smear examination. The incidence of squamous intraepithelial lesions of cervix (SIL) was found very high (18.2%) in the 2369 women screened but majority of them were of low grade (LSIL).The SIL incidence was very high with all predisposing factors like gynecological symptoms, age and clinical lesions of cervix. However, the SIL rate showed rise with increasing parity
