Abstract

Cervical cancer is a cancer arising from the cervix. It is due to the abnormal growth of cells that have the ability to invade or spread to other parts of the body. Cervical Cancer is the fourth most common cancer in women, ranking after breast cancer (2.1 million cases), colorectal cancer (0.8 million) and lung cancer (0.7 million). In developed countries, the widespread use of cervical screening programs has dramatically reduced the rate of cervical cancer. Cervical cancer is a health crisis impacting women and their families across the world especially in low-resource settings (Taneja et al, 2021).
