Description
This Continuing Medical Education (CME) session focuses on cervical cancer, a largely preventable malignancy that remains a major cause of morbidity and mortality among women, particularly in low- and middle-income settings. The session will address the natural history of cervical cancer, risk factors, screening and diagnostic approaches, staging, treatment options, and survivorship care. Participants will review current evidence-based strategies for primary prevention (HPV vaccination), secondary prevention (screening and early treatment), and tertiary care (surgical, chemoradiation, and palliative management). Emphasis will be placed on integrating cervical cancer services into routine reproductive health care and strengthening multidisciplinary and health-system approaches to reduce disease burden.
