Abstract

Cervical cancer is the fourth most common cancer in women globally with an estimated 604 000 new cases and 342 000 deaths in 2020. The highest rates of cervical cancer incidence and mortality are in low- and middle-income countries. Cervical cancer ranks as the 13th most frequent cancer among women in Egypt and the 9th most frequent cancer among women between 15 and 44 years of age. Egypt has a population of 36.7 million women ages 15 years and older who are at risk of developing cervical cancer. Current estimates indicate that every year 1320 women are diagnosed with cervical cancer and 744 die from the disease. Cervical cancer is considered a preventable disease as it has a long pre invasive state. The average time course from the high-grade precancerous lesion CIN 3 progressing to invasion is estimated at 10 years leaving many opportunities for lesions to be detected and treated.
