Objective: To determine if vaginal candidiasis is associated with cervical cancer in patients under 50 years old treated at Hospital III-1 José Cayetano Heredia, Piura. Methods: A retrospective case-control study used medical records from 2015 to 2023. A total of 99 patients were included, 33 with cervical cancer and 66 without. Sociodemographic, gynecological, and obstetric factors were analyzed, along with the presence of vaginal candidiasis. Results: The prevalence of vaginal candidiasis was significantly higher in patients with cervical cancer (57.6%) compared to those without (3.0%), with a p-value < 0.001. Significant associations were also found between cervical cancer and early initiation of sexual activity, HPV infection, and the use of oral contraceptives. Multivariate analysis showed that vaginal candidiasis (OR 43.4, 95% CI 9-208), early sexual activity (OR 2.83, 95% CI 1.14-7), history of HPV infection (OR 25.2, 95% CI 8-78.7), and oral contraceptive use (OR 3.49, 95% CI 1.3-9.16) were significant risk factors for cervical cancer. Conclusion: Vaginal candidiasis is significantly associated with cervical cancer in women under 50 years old. The findings highlight the importance of early detection and treatment of vaginal infections as part of cervical cancer prevention strategies. Further research is needed to explore the underlying mechanisms and to validate these findings in larger, multicentric studies
