Article Synopsis
- Cervical cancer is a major global health issue, particularly affecting women, and is mainly caused by persistent high-risk HPV infections. The study highlights ongoing disparities in outcomes linked to socioeconomic factors and access to screening in the Kyrgyz Republic.
- A retrospective analysis of 1,338 cervical cancer cases from 2012 to 2017 revealed an increase in prevalence rates, with notable variances across different regions of the country, particularly in urban areas like Bishkek and Osh.
- The findings stress the effectiveness of screening programs like Pap smears in reducing cervical cancer rates but also underline the urgent need for improved strategies to tackle existing disparities in healthcare access and outcomes.
