Abstract
The cervical cancer is affecting the lower parts of the uterus. Human papillomavirus is a main
reason for developing cervical cancer. The incidence of cervical cancer has been declining in the
European Union since the 1980s, with the exception of Eastern European countries that later
joined the alliance. In order to prepare this paper, were used data from WHO. Mortality rates are
characterized by slower declines in some Eastern European countries or remain consistently high
as in Slovakia, Estonia and Bulgaria while Finland, Switzerland and Malta are characterized by
lowest morbidity rates. It is currently the fourth most common malignant cancer in women in
terms of morbidity and the seventh most common cancer in the general global population.
According to data from 2018, from the Global Cancer Registry (Globocan 2018), cervical cancer
contributes to 3.2% or 569 847 cases of all newly diagnosed cases of cancer globally, and is
responsible for 3.15% of deaths in general of all types of cancer. Among the women diagnosed
with cervical cancer between 2010 and 2014, the 5-year survival varies between the member
states, from 54% in Latvia to 70% in Denmark. The average five-year survival in the European
Union in the last decade has increased from 61% to 63%. Cervical cancer mortality among
European Union members decreased from 6.0 in 2000 to 5.1 in 2015. These trends suggest the
need for timely and properly developed prevention programs, implementation of organized
screenings, early diagnosis and effective treatment for cervical cancer.
