Introduction:
According to statistics from the World Health Organization, more than 19.2 million population were diagnosed with cancer in 2020, and 9.9 million population died from cancer. Furthermore, Mongolia leads the world in terms of cancer mortality. In Mongolia, 5981 new cancer incidences were registered in 2021, including cervical cancer, which accounts for 5.2 percent. The average incidence rate of cervical cancer is 19.1 cases per 100,000 females, and the mortality rate is 9.6 cases per 100,000 females, which is high in the region. As of 2021, 68,163 females have undergone early screening of cervical cancer. This represents 28.6 percent of eligible women.
