title: Risk factors related to the development and mortality from invasive cervical cancer clinical utility and impact on prevention.
abstract: The focus of this article is to explore the various risk factors related to cervical cancer and the practical context in which they can be applied. The ability to link dinical outcomes (disease presence, persistence, progression, and recurrence) with antecedent risk factors is strengthened by a new understanding of the molecular mechanisms that are responsible for malignant transformation.
