This special issue of Salud Publica de Mexico presents an overview of the latest findings on prevention and screening of cervical cancer (CC), as well as new possible approaches to early diagnosis and intervention for controlling this neoplastic disease.
Similar to other developing countries, CC persists in Mexico as a serious public health problem. Three main components to the burden of disease include: the suffering and grief of patients and their families, the side effects of therapy, and its related costs. A positive notein the presence of the high morbidity and mortality caused by CC is that it clearly shows how interdisciplinary cancer research is the best tool to control this disease.
