Cervical cancer screening and early diagnosis

Abstract

Among female malignant tumors, cervical cancer ranks fourth in terms of incidence rate and mortality. To accelerate the elimination of cervical cancer, increasing the vaccination rate of human papillomavirus (HPV) and cervical cancer screening are the most important methods. In recent years, the incidence of cervical cancer in China has shown a younger trend, and the population screening rate is low. Scientific and extensive cervical cancer screening and early diagnosis are crucial. The screening strategies for cervical cancer in various countries around the world have certain differences and are constantly updated in terms of methods, start time, time interval, and end time. Starting from the etiology and epidemiology of cervical cancer, this article summarizes the latest cervical cancer screening methods, strategies, and early diagnosis experience at home and abroad, providing help and thinking for the prevention and treatment of cervical cancer.
