Worldwide incidence and mortality caused by cervical cancer in 2020 and 2022, according to Global Cancer Statistics. New cases rose by approximately 9.42% in two years. The number of deaths slightly increased (1.86%). Although the greater number of cases of all cancers might explain the higher number of cases, the percentages of cases associated with cervix uteri incidence and mortality (versus all cancers) also slightly increased from 2022 to 2020 (3.3% vs. 3.1% and 3.6% vs. 3.4%, respectively [1] [176])
