Abstract

(Abstracted from Int J Gynaecol Obstet 2024:166 Suppl 1:3-21) The availability of comprehensive health care services and cancer screening in high-income countries has greatly reduced the burden of certain cancers, such as cervical cancer. Although the burden has been significantly reduced, cervical cancer still represents a large health burden with high numbers of deaths attributed to it yearly across the world.
