Cervical cancer is a leading cause of cancer-related deaths among Indian women, with approximately 67,000 deaths annually. It is primarily caused by Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) infections, with every woman at risk, although most infections resolve on their own. Vaccination and screening are effective methods for preventing cervical cancer, with 58 countries including HPV vaccination in their national immunization programs.
