In 2010, in the 21th century the disease that does most human victims is the cancer. Until now, the doctors and the specialists who study this disease weren’t able to discover a cure. Unfortunately this disease doesn’t forgive anyone no matter the age or sex. There are underdeveloped countries that don’t have a developed sanitary system, hospitals and last technology equipment and because they are poor they cannot afford to go in other developed countries to benefit of the treatment and specialists. So, they die, because they don’t have the money to save their lives. For everyone is difficult and painful to see a love one dying in front of your eyes and to not be able to help him. But, that’s life.
Cervical cancer statistics have been made by age groups, by stage, by incidence, mortality in different countries of the world, by male or female incidence, etc. In 2006, a statistic made in the U.K. on the invasive carcinoma of the cervix that showed that 2873 new cases of cervical cancer were diagnosed, accounting approximately 2% of all types of cancers that affect women. According to the graphic, the age-standardized (European) annual incidence rate of cervical cancer in U.K. is 8,5 per 100,000 women. The invasive cervical cancer is evenly spread across age groups over 25 years, the rate is highest for the 30-39 age group, approximately 17 per 100,000 women. Cervical cancer is divided in fallowing stages:
-stage 1 – divided in 1a and 1b, the cancer cells have small dimensions and are located only into the cervix;
-stage 2 – divided in 2a and 2b, the cancer cells became bigger and start to spread into the surrounding tissues;
-stage 3 – the cancer cells spreads into the pelvis;
-stage 4 – is the most advanced stage of the disease and affects other organs of the body.
The survival cervical cancer rate depends on stage of the disease at diagnosis. Two thirds of the tumors is represented by the cervical cancer in stage 1. More detailed analysis of the cervical cancer cases with an unknown stage prove that the older women have a bigger ratio of cervical cancer cases with unknown stage than younger women. The young women who have cervical cancer with unknown stage have a good survival chance, while the older women who have cervical cancer with unknown stage have a poor survival chance.

The cervical cancer is the most common disease among the countries in Southern Africa and Central America and one in ten women are diagnosed with cervical cancer worldwide.

Human papilloma virus is the main cause of the cervical cancer. The difference between international countries rates are determined by the prevalence of the Human Papilloma virus and because of other factors such us pills or smoking. Many of the developed countries have decided to take measures in order to decrease the cervical cancer cases, they introduced screening programs that in time had proven to have positive results.

The states and the organizations should develop information campaigns, screening programs, free medical analysis and allocate more founds to help women to prevent the appearance of these disease. It is always better to prevent than to treat.
