Effective Prevention of High-Risk Cervical Cancer Among Women in Developing Countries: A Case-Study in Nigeria

Abstract

There is a surge of morbidity and mortality among women as a result of untreated cases of Cervical Cancer (CC) which is common among women living in underdeveloped and developing countries.The epidemiology of CC revealed that the application of certain combat and operational risk factors of some germane associated with the formation/development of CC can help avoid being infected by the neoplastic disease or the early discovery at an early stage can help mitigate the spread. Hence, some germane high-risk and low-risk factors of the formation of CC in this study were considered to help differentiate infected women from those that are not infected and to create awareness about HPV for effective prevention of CC formation. This study is aimed at predicting and differentiating the group of women with 'low-risk' CC from 'high-risk' CC among Nigerian
