Summary

Global cervical cancer cases and deaths could rise by 20.2% and 39.3%, respectively, by 2050, according to a modeling study published in Nature Medicine . The findings suggest that the burden of cervical cancer will remain unevenly distributed, with the highest incidence and mortality rates in sub-Saharan Africa. Cervical cancer is largely preventable, with elimination strategies relying on human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination , screening and treatment of cervical disease. However, access to these measures varies widely around the world.
