| Summary: | There are significant differences in cervical cancer incidence and mortality between low-middle and high-income countries. The American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) resource-stratified clinical practice guideline was designed to provide an appropriate cervical cancer treatment based on the best available evidence in scenarios with different diagnostic and therapeutic resources. Argentina, a Latin American high middle income country, shows however, that cervical cancer rates are similar to those of low-income countries. In addition, significant disparities in incidence and mortality are described throughout the country. The present article describes the current pattern of care of cervical cancer in Argentina and establishes recommendations adjusted to local resources in different regions of the country according to the ASCO guideline.
