Cervical cancer is one of the most preventable cancers today, yet over 500,000 new cases are diagnosed globally each year and every 2 minutes a woman dies from cervical cancer. The burden of this disease and the highest mortality from cervical cancer occur in developing countries. High-income countries are poised to eliminate cervical cancer in the 21st century, but despite a global call to eliminate this disease, low- and middle-income countries face many challenges as they strive to answer that call.
宫颈癌是当今最可预防的癌症之一,然而全球每年仍有超过50万例新病例被诊断出来,每两分钟就有一名女性死于宫颈癌。这种疾病的负担以及宫颈癌导致的最高死亡率出现在发展中国家。高收入国家有望在21世纪消除宫颈癌,但尽管全球呼吁消除这种疾病,低收入和中等收入国家在努力响应这一呼吁时仍面临许多挑战。
