United States
It used to be a leading death cause for women in U.S. Over the past forty years, the rate of #Cervical Cancer has significantly declined. The major reason for this decrease is that more women now get Pap Tests that can detect pre-cancer stage of cervical cancer before it develops a tumor inside.
United Kingdom
There were 957 deaths from cervical #cancer in the entire UK in 2008. The rate thus becomes 2.4 per 100,000 women and crude rate is 3.1 per 100,000. The table below shows the stats in all of its countries:
Age factor: The highest number of deaths in women over 70 years of age. A small number of deaths about 7 per cent is reported to have occurred in women who are below the age of 35. The list given here makes it clearer to understand:
