Cervical cancer (CC) is one of the most common gynecological oncological diseases among women, with Human Papillomavirus (HPV) infection identified as its primary etiological factor [1, 2]. The disease often progresses asymptomatically in the early stages, making early screening and diagnosis critically important [3, 5]. Chronic inflammation, hormonal imbalances, immune system deficiency, and genetic factors also play a significant role in the development of CC [1, 7]. This article analyzes the epidemiology, pathogenesis mechanisms, diagnostic approaches, screening methods, and treatment strategies of CC [2, 4, 6]. Furthermore, preventive measures, including HPV vaccination and regular Pap smear tests, are discussed as ways to enable early detection of the disease and prevent severe progression [5, 6, 7, 8]. This work aims to systematically present scientific data on CC and enhance its clinical and preventive significance [3, 4].
