Abstract

Cervical cancer is the third most common malignant disease in women, with an annual worldwide incidence of 493,243 cases. It is a leading cause of cancer death in developing countries [1]. Even in the United States, cervical cancer is still the number three cause of cancer death in women aged 15–34 and the number five cause in women aged 35–54 [2]. Therefore, the disease ranks fourth for average years of life lost from cancer, and it disproportionately affects minority groups and women of low socioeconomic status [2]Cervical cancer is the third most common malignant disease in women, with an annual worldwide incidence of 493,243 cases.
