Worldwide, an estimated 470,000 new cases occur and 233,000 women die annually from cervical cancer . Eighty percent of these deaths occur where resources are the most limited .Where organized comprehensive detection, treatment, and referral programs have been implemented, the incidence and mortality of this cancer have decreased dramatically . However, implementing programs characteristic of industrialized countries - including testing, treatment, quality assurance, follow-up, and information system components on a widespread basis - requires considerable resources and a high level of program coordination. These programs are impractical and unaffordable in low-resource settings. Yet, women deserve access to services that can safely, effectively, and affordably prevent cervical cancer. 收起
