Summary:To provide an overview of the etiology, prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and long-term survivorship concerns surrounding cervical cancer. A review of articles dated 2006–2018 from PubMed.

Despite these advances, there are both newly diagnosed individuals as well as survivors of cervical cancer who require continued evidence-based care.
