Abstract
Cervical cancer is one of the common gynecological malignancies, and the incidence rate is the second among female malignant tumors, only after breast cancer, but even in the first place in some developing countries. According to worldwide statistics, there are about 500,000 new cases of cervical cancer each year, accounting for 5% of all new cancer cases, 80% of which occur in developing countries. About 240,000 people die of cervical cancer every year in the world. In recent years, according to some countries and regions, the annual HPV infection rate of young women under 25 years old is 2.3%, of which 0.03% of infected people develop CIN III and cervical invasive cancer, and the younger HPV infection causes the etiology of cervical cancer. Research is especially important.
