Cervical cancer mortality and survival were analyzed in women affiliated to the Popular Health Insurance Program in San Luis Potosí, Mexico, during the period 2005-2012. Kaplan-Meier curves, the Log Rank test, and the Cox regression were used. Women who do not consume hormonal contraceptives, those who work at home, and those who have stage of cervical cancer I showed higher survival compared to IV (p < 0.05). Women who use hormonal contraceptives have 1.58 times the risk of dying from cervical cancer than those who do not use them; similarly, stage IV patients have 15.18 times more risk of dying than stage I; those who work out of home have 50.24 times more than those who work at home; those who had recurrence of the disease have a 50.24 times greater risk of dying compared to those who did not have it; and single women have 1.59 times more risk of dying than non-single women. All these risk differences were significant (p < 0.05). Contraceptive use, cancer stage, occupation, disease recurrence, and marital status were identified as risk factors for cervical cancer mortality.
