Overview

Cervical cancer and stress encompasses the psychological, social, and behavioral factors that influence cervical cancer prevention, screening uptake, and disease outcomes. Research published in Cervical Cancer has primarily examined barriers to cervical cancer screening across diverse populations, revealing that stress-related factors such as healthcare access challenges, displacement, and institutional constraints affect screening behavior. Studies have documented screening uptake rates among women in hospital settings in Ethiopia and Nigeria, as well as among refugee populations in Uganda, highlighting how social determinants and stressful life circumstances intersect with preventive health behaviors. While direct investigations of physiological stress mechanisms in cervical carcinogenesis remain limited in this journal's published work, the research addresses molecular pathways involved in cervical cancer development, including PI3K/mTOR/AKT signaling and the role of human papillomavirus in virus-induced carcinogenesis. Understanding the relationship between stress and cervical cancer matters because psychological and social stressors may influence both screening participation and potentially disease progression, yet screening remains the most effective strategy for early detection and prevention of advanced cervical cancer in populations facing multiple barriers to care.
