Abstract
Cervical cancer is a leading cause of cancer-related death among women in developing countries, with up to 80% of patients presenting with advanced disease.1-3 In resource-poor areas, such as sub-Saharan Africa, the growing number of women infected with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) may further compound this problem because they have an increased risk of human papillomavirus (HPV) infection, the causal agent of cervical cancer.4-6Keywords
