This is a tragedy in part because cervical cancer affects women usually a decade sooner than other cancers when those women are in their reproductive years and in the prime years in the labor force. While screening with the Pap test or other more recently evaluated tests have resulted in low cervical cancer rates in high resource countries, the lack of screening options in low resource countries means that many women present with symptoms reflective of advanced disease and so the chance of survival is low eve UR - https://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?custid=ns123844&authtype=ip,shib&direct=true&scope=site&db=nlebk&db=nlabk&AN=673614 ER -
