Resumen
Descripción
In 2010, nearly 74,000 new cases of
cervical cancer were diagnosed among Indian women. This
number is estimated to increase to as high as 225,000 cases
by 2025. Cervical cancer is also the leading cause of cancer
deaths in India, as most cases are not detected until they
are in an advanced stage. In addition to the cost in lives,
cervical cancer can have a significant social and economic
impact on families and their communities, as it primarily
affects women during their most productive years.
Recognizing the challenge of cervical cancer, in 2013 the
World Bank conducted a review of research studies on
cervical cancer prevention and examined the implementation
experiences of cervical cancer screening programs in India.
A recently published report summarizes the current state of
knowledge and practice, and offers recommendations for
strengthening India s programmatic and policy responses to
cervical cancer.
