Poland belongs to European countries characterized by the highest mortality of women caused by cervical cancer – neoplasm that is fully curable if early enough detected. It happens so despite of several, broadly designed prevention actions addressed to women, encouraging them to participate in preventive screenings. All these actions particularly fail among women from lower social strata, especially living in poverty. The question is therefore, what are the main obstacles behind this behavior? What is the cause of their reluctance to prevention of the life threatening disease, even if it is not related to any expenses? The article tries to answer these questions looking for the answer among structural and socio-cultural variables influencing women’s approach to health and disease. Presented research results demonstrate problems of gynecological prevention among women threatened with social exclusion.

Polska należy do krajów o najwyższej w Europie umieralności kobiet z powodu raka szyjki macicy, postaci nowotworu, który jest w pełni wyleczalny, jeżeli odpowiednio wcześnie wykryty. Dzieje się tak mimo szeroko zakrojonych, masowych akcji kierowanych do kobiet, zachęcających je do badań profilaktycznych. Dlaczego więc kobiety docierają do lekarzy tak późno? Gdzie leży przyczyna ich niechęci do zapobiegania chorobie zagrażającej życiu? Artykuł próbuje odpowiedzieć na te pytania, poszukując przyczyn wśród czynników strukturalnych i społeczno-kulturowych, wyznaczających stosunek kobiet do zdrowia i choroby. Przedstawione wyniki badań dotyczą profilaktyki ginekologicznej kobiet zagrożonych wykluczeniem społecznym.

Poland belongs to European countries characterized by the highest mortality of women caused by cervical cancer - a neoplasm that is fully curable if detected early enough. It happens so despite of several, broadly designed prevention actions addressed to women, encouraging them to participate in preventive screenings. Therefore, the question arises: why do women contact the doctors so late? What is the cause of their reluctance to prevention of the life-threatening disease? The article tries to address these questions looking for the answer among structural and socio-cultural variables influencing women's approach to health and disease. The research results under discussion concern the problems of gynecological prevention among women threatened with social exclusion.
