Summary

Cervical cancer is the fourth most common cancer of women, with a wide range of variation of incidence across the globe. It continues to be a major public health problem particularly in countries with poorly resourced healthcare. Persistent infection with high-risk HPV and ineffective clearance of HPV are central to causation of cellular changes at the squamocolumnar junction, leading to the development of invasive cancer. A global initiative of preventative vaccination, screening and treatment has developed to eradicate cervical cancer as a public health problem. Diagnosis of early invasive cancer is seen in well-established screening programmes. This chapter reviews the management of early invasive and recurrent cervical cancer.
