Overview

Cervical cancer is a cancer of the cervix, which is located at the lower end of the uterus in women. It is the third most common type of cancer in women in developing countries, and is the primary cause of cancer-related deaths of women in such countries. Cervical cancer is highly preventable through regular and timely screening tests and vaccinations, as well as lifestyle and behavioural changes. Early diagnosis and prompt treatment are also essential for better outcomes and cure. The World Health Organisation recommends that all women in developing countries, especially those over the age of 30, get regular cervical cancer screenings. Additionally, the HPV vaccine is available in some countries to help protect against cervical cancer. Through a combination of prevention, early detection and treatment, the deaths due to cervical cancer in developing countries can be significantly reduced.
