title: Cervical carcinoma: contemporary management.
abstract: Cervical carcinoma is prevented easily with proper screening. Unfortunately, many women in industrialized countries continue to have poor access to adequate medical care. In many third-world countries, cervical cancer is one of the top malignancies diagnosed. Screening should be provided for all women to prevent or diagnose cervical cancer at an early, treatable stage.
