Abstract

Cervical cancer is the fifth most common cancer in humans, the second most common cancer in women worldwide. It is the most common cause of cancer death in the developing countries. Large majority (around 85%) of the global burden occurs in the less developed regions, where it accounts for almost 12% of all female cancers. Sexually transmitted human papillomavirus (HPV) infection is the most important risk factor for cervical intraepithelial neoplasia and invasive cervical cancer. This chapter covers the history and evolution, global burden, and Indian burden. Cervical cancer is the commonest cancer cause of death among women in India. It is the second most common cancer in women aged 15–44 years. Most factors related to cervical cancer are associated with sexual behavior and it is well-established that HPV infections play a critical role in the development of cervical cancer.
