Prevention and screening of cervical cancer:an achievement with significant social benefits / 肿瘤研究与临床

ABSTRACT

Cervical cancer is one of the most common gynecological malignancies, seriously threatening women's health. As early as 1878, Freund first used hysterectomy to treat cervical cancer. In 1898, Wertheim first proposed radical surgery for cervical cancer. With the continuous development of diagnosis and treatment technology, the etiology of cervical cancer has become increasingly clear. The various screening measures have been applied in early detection, early diagnosis and early treatment of cervical cancer. In recent years, the increasing promotion of human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine has brought a new hope in the prevention and control of cervical cancer.
