The majority of the cases diagnosed n 453 032 were found in developing countries as were the deaths n 241 818 . Globally cervical cancer was the third most common cancer ranking after breast million cases and colorectal cancer million cases and the fourth most common cause of cancer death ranking below breast lung and colorectal cancer. There is a striking disparity in the incidence of and mortality from cervical cancer in different regions of the world. Figure 1 shows the annual number of deaths from cervical cancer in developed and developing regions by age group and it is evident that the number of deaths in developing countries is nearly 10 times greater than in developed regions.

In addition there are marked variations within regions themselves as illustrated in Figure 3 for Southern Africa1 where the highest incidence is found in Lesotho and Swaziland two countries that have neither screening programs nor any anti-cancer treatment facilities and who have 1 and 2 doctors per 10 000 population respectively compared to 8 10 000 in South Africa and
