ABSTRACT

Cervical cancer is a major cause of morbidity and mortality among women worldwide, particularly in low- and middle-income countries. However, it is largely preventable through early detection and vaccination. Preventative strategies, including regular screening (Pap smears and HPV tests) and vaccination against the human papillomavirus (HPV), play a critical role in reducing the incidence of cervical cancer.

Key words: Cervical cancer, Prevention, HPV vaccination, Pap smear, HPV screening, Early detection, Public awareness, Women's health, Cancer prevention.
