In Europe, cervical cancer is the second leading cause of death by cancer in women aged between 15 and 44 years, after breast cancer. Every day, 40 women in Europe die of cervical cancer. This figure has been decreasing for some years now thanks to prevention programs such as screening. In the UK however, there are approximately 2,800 new registrations of cervical cancer every year. Cervical cancer is caused by a virus called the human papillomavirus.
