Abstract

Abstract : (Abstracted from Prev Med 2021;144:106313) Cervical cancer is a preventable disease that continues to have an annual incidence of nearly 600, 000 cases with disproportionate disease burden and death occurring in marginalized populations and low- and middle-income countries. Evidence suggests that elimination of cervical cancer as a public health problem is more feasible than it has ever been, and that the incidence can be brought below 4 per 100, 000 women globally within a century.
