Self-Help Group-Based Awareness of Cervical Cancer Screening - A Narrative Review

Abstract

In India, one of the most prevalent malignancies affecting women is cervical cancer.¹ Women's access to treatment and palliative care, as well as their knowledge of primary and secondary prevention techniques, need to be improved in order to prevent and control it. A focused strategy is required to eradicate cervical cancer before the World Health Organization's 2030 deadline. ¹²

By using tests, examinations, or other quickly applied processes, screening encourages the identification of undiagnosed diseases or problems.³ The ability to conduct screening tests with a significant number of participants and the availability of facilities capable of carrying out follow-up care, diagnosis, and treatment are both necessary for the screening process to be successful.⁴
