Abstract: Cervical cancer ranks fourth globally among cancers that affect women, after lung, colorectal, and breast cancers.The WHO reports that there are over 4 lakh cervical cancer deaths and 6 lakh new cases annually which are highly concerning numbers.Cervical cancer is usually preventable and has significantly greater survival chances when detected early.In high-income countries with robust screening and vaccination programs, it is a rare disease.But the disease kills women in low-and middle-income countries, where there are scarcities of resources and hence it becomes a severe and irreversible illness.Treatment options include surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy, either alone or in combination.This review paper discusses stages, complications, causes, and treatment plans for cervical cancer.
