Can the coverage of screening for cancer of the cervix be improved using the Electoral Register? A pilot study.

abstract：:While the vast majority of cancers are believed to occur sporadically, most forms of cancer, both adult and paediatric, have a hereditary equivalent. In the case of adult malignancies, these include hereditary breast and ovarian cancer and syndromes such as the multiple endocrine neoplasias types 1 and 2 characterised...
