Cervical cancer is caused by the HPV virus and is treatable when detected early. Regular Pap smears make early diagnosis possible. Because the disease progresses slowly over years, screening programs save lives.
The HPV vaccine and regular gynecological check-ups can significantly reduce risk. Raising awareness and promoting early detection are essential to protecting women's health.
