Abstract

Cervical cancer is a common cancer in women with an estimated 570,000 new cases in 2018 and represents 6.6% of all cancers in women. About 90% of cervical cancer deaths occur in low- and middle-income countries. High mortality rates from cervical cancer globally can be reduced through a comprehensive approach that includes prevention, early diagnosis, effective screening and treatment programs. Cervical cancer can be prevented with primary prevention. Primary prevention is to prevent the occurrence of Human Papillomavirus (HPV) infection with the advantage of not causing side effects, easy and effective. This prevention can be done using screening methods that are easy and inexpensive to do, such as Visual Inspection of Acetic Acid (IVA), which is visual inspection with acetic acid.
