Abstract:

Cancer of the cervix is a very common malignant disease in South African women. This cancer can mostly be prevented by the early detection of cancer precursors using regular screening (Pap smear) and gynecological check-ups. Cancer of the cervix is often associated with the human papillomavirus (HPV), which mostly is sexually transmitted. The most common symptom of cancer of the cervix is abnormal vaginal bleeding.
