The crude incidence of cervical cancer in the European Union is 13.2/100 000 and the crude mortality rate is 5.9/100 000 women/year. Nearly 500 000 cervical cancer new cases are occurring worldwide each year, responsible for 274 000 deaths. Cervical cancer represents the third most common cause of female mortality. The mortality is 10 times higher in developing countries, where∼ 80% of new cases occur, compared with developed countries, since screening and treatment programmes are frequently inaccessible to women in developing countries. The screening capacity is satisfactory in most European Union member states, even if, based on data from available screening registers, the coverage of the screening test is< 80% in all programmes, ranging from 10% to 79%. Early age at first sexual intercourse and early pregnancies have been recently evidenced as risk factors for cervical cancer in developing countries. High-risk persistent infection with sexually transmittable human papillomavirus is responsible for virtually all cases of cervical cancer. HPV-16 and HPV-18 are the most prevalent of the oncogenic types. In addition to screening techniques including conventional Papanicolaou smear and HPV DNA testing, primary prevention via vaccination against HPV is now available. The high efficacy of the vaccines may dramatically decrease cervical cancer, preventing up to 70% of newly diagnosed cases. The cost of the vaccine, however, precludes its widespread implementation and may increase the difference in mortality with developing countries.
