Cervical cancer is the fourth most common cancer among women, and while outcomes for the disease have steadily improved, it still sadly claims hundreds of lives a year.
However, the condition is highly preventable and can be cured - if detected and treated early enough, which is why it is so important to attend a cervical cancer screening.
Data shows more than nine in ten women had their cervical cancer cured after it was spotted at stage 1 - the earliest stage. It's important to note women with early cervical cancers and pre-cancers usually have no symptoms, which adds to the growing number of deaths.
