Received Date: Mar 01, 2024 / Published Date: Mar 30, 2024
Abstract
Cervical cancer remains a significant global health challenge, with hundreds of thousands of new cases diagnosed each year. However, prevention strategies offer hope in reducing the burden of this disease. This abstract explores the importance of cervical cancer prevention and discusses various preventive measures that can help combat this preventable cancer. Primary prevention efforts focus on targeting human papillomavirus (HPV) infection, the primary cause of cervical cancer. HPV vaccination, recommended for both boys and girls before they become sexually active, provides effective protection against infection with cancer-causing HPV strains. Additionally, regular cervical cancer screening plays a crucial role in early detection and treatment of precancerous changes in the cervix, allowing for timely intervention to prevent the development of invasive cancer.
