Global burden and projections of cervical cancer attributable to unsafe sex and smoking, 1990–2034
Unsafe sex is the leading risk factor for cervical cancer. Targeted strategies are needed for distinct age groups: enhanced prevention and screening for those aged 55-59 years, and optimized care for adults aged over 95 years. The key interventions, including HPV vaccination, screening, and smoking cessation programs, remain critical in low and low-middle SDI areas.
