AB Cervical  cancer  is  the  most  common  gynecologic  cancer  in  women  worldwide.  Most  of  these  cancers  stem  from  infection  with  the  human  papillomavirus  (HPV),  although  other  host  factors  affect  neoplastic  progression  following  initial  infection.  Compared  with  other  gynecologic  malignancies,  cervical  cancer  develops  in  a  younger  population.  Thus,  screening  for  this  neoplasia  typically  begins  in  young  adulthood.
