Abstract:
Cervical cancer is the most common malignant cancer in reproductive organ among females in China, particularly in rural areas. Primary prevention [human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination] was not performed on a large scale, according to a popula-tion-based study in China. Therefore, we aimed to develop a secondary cervical cancer prevention model. Such model would be suit-able for national conditions in China, scientific and reasonable, of low cost, and ideal for popularization in rural areas. Jing'an county in Jiangxi province was the high risk area of cervical cancer in China. The methods of early diagnosis and treatment effectively reduced the mortality and the detection rates of cervical cancer for 40 years. The characteristics of theJing'an modelwere gradually devel-oped.Jing'an modelcan be used for cervical cancer prevention and control in China's rural areas and can be applied in other develop-ing areas worldwide.
