Abstract

Cancer Cervix is the 4th most common cancer in women around the world. India accounts for approximately 25% of global prevalence. A study published in 2014 stated the crude incidence rate of cancer cervix is 20.2 per one lakh population in our country. In our state, Odisha, there has been a gross increase of incidence approximately by 4% between 2008 and 2011. Also, cancer cervix is the leading cause of cancer death in women in under developed countries. Pap smear has been the gold standard screening test for cervical cancer since its introduction in 1949. It has helped reducing the cervical cancer mortality rates roughly to half.
