Cervical Cancer Patient Resource Area

Every year, about 9,710 women in the United States get cervical cancer and about 3,700 women die from it. It used to be the most common cause of cancer death in American women, however, because of the use of the Pap test, deaths related to cervical cancer have decreased 74% between the years 1955-1992. Unfortunately, in other countries, cervical cancer affects approximately 500,000 women each year. In some parts of the world, it is still the most common cancer in women.
