Cervical cancer rates in the United States are low due largely to access to effective screening. Cervical cancer is believed with a high degree of certainty, to be the delayed consequence of infection with high risk or oncogenic human papillomavirus (HPV). The majority of HPV infections are transient and do not progress to cervical cancer. However, the consequences of missing precancerous or early cancerous lesions are potentially lethal and should be avoidable with appropriate screening.
