%X Objective: To identify the types of precursor lesions of cervical cancer more prevalent in women living in a rural area of São José de Mipibu, Rio Grande do Norte, Brazil. Method: This study is of an exploratory-descriptive nature, designed in the form of documentary research. The sample comprised women who underwent oncotic cytology in the Health Unit of the studied community, 2005 to 2009, totaling 782 women. Results: considerations were made about the microbiology, diagnosis and descriptive of cellular atypia distributed by age found in the results of oncotic cytology, with subsequent reflections on the role of nurses in the prevention of cervical cancer. Conclusion: We conclude that the prevention of cervical cancer still remains a challenge for women's health.
