Factors Associated with Pre-cancerous Cervical Lesions among Women Attending Cervical Cancer Screening Centers in Selected Tertiary Hospitals in Bangladesh: A Case-control Study

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: Cervical cancer, driven mainly by persistent high-risk human papillomavirus infection, remains a major public health problem in Bangladesh, with 9,640 new cases and 5,826 deaths in 2022. Early detection of pre-cancerous cervical lesions (PCL) is essential, yet limited evidence exists on factors associated with PCL among Bangladeshi women. This study aimed to identify factors associated with PCL among women attending cervical cancer screening centers at selected tertiary hospitals.
