This book discusses the growing concerns and latest advances associated with cancer prevention. The prevention and regulation of cervical cancer are the most important concerns in public health strategies these days, given the fact that it is one of the most widespread and severe cancers affecting women, particularly in developing nations. Empowering women, acquainting them with general awareness, timely detection through feasible techniques and remedy of precancers using cryotherapy/LEEP are the possible methods for decreasing the chances of the disease. Continuous research has resulted in a significant decrease in the frequency of occurrence as well as mortality of cervical cancer, providing a hope for further advancements in future. This text will be useful for researchers, activists, doctors and practitioners who are ceaselessly working in this field for improvements.

Cervical Cancer is one of the leading cancers among women, especially in developing countries. Prevention and control are the most important public health strategies. Empowerment of women, education, "earlier" screening by affordable technologies like visual inspection, and treatment of precancers by cryotherapy/ LEEP are the most promising interventions to reduce the burden of cervical cancer.Dr Rajamanickam Rajkumar had the privilege of establishing a rural population based cancer registry in South India in 1996, as well as planning and implementing a large scale screening program for cervical cancer in 2000. The program was able to show a reduction in the incidence rate of cervical cancer by 25%, and reduction in mortality rate by 35%. This was the greatest inspiration for him to work on cerrvical cancer prevention, and he edited this book to inspire others to initiate such programs in developing countries. InTech - Open Access Publisher plays a major role in this crusade against cancer, and the authors have contributed to it very well.

Most women who die from cervical cancer, particularly in developing countries, are in the prime of their life. They may be raising children, caring for their family, and contributing to the social and economic life of their town or village. Their death is both a personal tragedy, and a sad and unnecessary loss to their family and their community. Unnecessary, because there is compelling evidence, as this Guide makes clear, that cervical cancer is one of the most preventable and treatable forms of cancer, as long as it is detected early and managed effectively. Unfortunately, the majority of women in developing countries still do not have access to cervical cancer prevention programmes. The consequence is that, often, cervical cancer is not detected until it is too late to be cured. An urgent effort is required if this situation is to be corrected. This Guide is intended to help those responsible for providing services aimed at reducing the burden posed by cervical cancer for women, communities and health systems. It focuses on the knowledge and skills needed by health care providers, at different levels of care.

Recent introduction of HPV vaccines has raised hopes for immunization against cervical cancer and for the first time in the history of humanity for eradication of one malignant disease. This new “opportunity” has changed many current views on cervical cancer prevention, control diagnosis and treatment. Many canons and guidelines became subject of review and many revisions are coming. This book is intended to summarize most of these events and to present them to all women in a language understandable by the eneral public. We expect the book will bring all readers the rationale for optimism and will provide guidance as how to gain knowledge and skills for critical thinking and making an educated decision when it will be necessary in their lives.

The last few years have seen enormous progress in terms of our understanding of the etiology and pathogenesis of cervical cancer (particularly with respect to the role of human papillomaviruses), and this has opened up new avenues for prevention. Additionally, there have been further refinements of existing technologies for cervical cancer control. To read about the state of the art on cervical cancer, health professionals have to locate individual articles and reviews of specific topics. In recognition of this, we propose to produce a book that will bring together in one place reviews of the contribution of descriptive and analytical epidemiological research to our understanding of cervical cancer etiology, as well as research on the application of that knowledge (plus knowledge gained from basic science investigations) to prevention through screening, chemoprevention, and vaccine development. The proposed book will include authoritative reviews by scientists working on the disciplines that are pertinent to the topic of the epidemiology and prevention of cervical cancer.

Although it is preventable and curable, cervical cancer is the fourth most common form of cancer among women worldwide. As such, the World Health Organization adopted a Cervical Cancer Elimination Initiative, which aims to eliminate cervical cancer by 2030. This book discusses plans, programs, strategies, solutions, research, and revolutions necessary to achieve this goal. Chapters cover such topics as epidemiology, HPV vaccination, screening and treatment, and prevention and control.

This book entitled Cervical Cancer - Screening, Treatment and Prevention Universal Protocols for Ultimate Control is the fourth successful endeavor of the Editor with InTech publisher. The four books serve as four pillars in cervical cancer control, globally. This book is unique and sensational. Public health "topics" are assuming a status of "phenomenon," through deliberations and research. Screening is riddled with global limitations of availability, affordability, acceptability, and accessibility. The treatment of precancers has questionable efficiency. Prevention is costly with the inclusion of HPV vaccine. This book helps to find the solutions. The authors, editor, and InTech publisher wish the readers a pleasant and purposeful reading. This book is a "readers' feast," "receivers' choice," and "respondents' delight." Enjoy and treasure the international facts and flavors.
