Abstract

Cancer has been one of the most deadly diseases in the world; In the female population Cervical Cancer [CaCu], is one of the most frequent and deadly, which could be caused by different infectious, food, socioeconomic and cultural factors, to mention a few. Consuming aflatoxigenic foods such as [corn  tortilla, almonds, rice, oats, peanuts, pistachios, among others] contaminated with Aspergillus parasiticus,  A. nonius and A. flavus could pose a risk for CaCu.

Objective. Determine the pattern of ingestion of aflatoxigenic foods in women diagnosed with [CaCu]. 

Material and methods. The study was observational cross-sectional. For this investigation, a study was carried out on 120 women; Persons who were previously selected according to a database provided by  a health institution. Results. The results of the surveys show the high consumption of foods containing aflatoxins in patients diagnosed with Cervical-uterine Cancer.

Conclusions. Women report high intakes of aflatoxigenic foods that may be involved in the development of  [CaCu] and most likely with other epidemiological events. Failure to pay attention to  patterns of food and poverty allows anticipating non-positive results in human health.
