Every woman should know that among 4000 women she will meet within 1 year, one will certainly have cervical cancer and that she might be this one woman, if she does not participate in regular cervical cancer screening. During the lifespan while she is at risk (between 20 and 60 years of age), this chance is increasing to 1:10. Having the HPV disease, not the infection only, doubles the chance. At the same time, if detected on time, cervical cancer is completely a preventive disease – after removal of the suspect lesion, the woman is cured. These statistical assumptions make the cervical cancer screening and removal of suspect lesions one of the most important additions to women’s health and well-being.
But knowledge is power, and this power could and should be learned to be executed. Books are only tools that can help readers to improve themselves. The will is the essence of the conduct. The new edition is designed to move the will of women at risk for cervical cancer.
Recent introduction of HPV vaccines has raised hopes for immunization against cervical cancer and for the first time in the history of humanity for eradication of one malignant disease. This new “opportunity” has changed many current views on cervical cancer prevention, control diagnosis and treatment. Many canons and guidelines became subject of review and many revisions are coming. This book is intended to summarize most of these events and to present them to all women in a language understandable by the eneral public.
We expect the book will bring all readers the rationale for optimism and will provide guidance as how to gain knowledge and skills for critical thinking and making an educated decision when it will be necessary in their lives.
