Estimating the survivability rate of patients with cervical cancer who come to our tertiary cancer care center was imperative, as was figuring out. What was causing the greater death rate. Method: The present study is a retrospective audit of cervical cancer registered at our hospital-based cancer registry from 2021 till date. Result: The three-year survival rate among women with late-stage cervical cancer was 45%, while 100% of women with early-stage care were alive at the end of three years. The survival rate was also poor among women belonging to middle and low socioeconomic status and illiterate women. Conclusion: Among women who have cervical cancer, those with early-stage cancer, who are literate and those who belong to above middle socioeconomic status have higher survivorship than their counterparts.
