Cervical Cancer provides an invaluable resource for both the registered nurse with a general interest in cervical cancer and for the nurse specialist working in primary health, gynaecology, oncology and palliative care.

As well as containing the essential chapters about the pathophysiology and treatment of cervical abnormalities and cervical cancer, Cervical Cancer also addresses specific nursing issues such as sexuality, fertility, and symptom control.

Full appreciation of global impact of cervical cancer on women involves an appreciation of the social, political and public health aspects of the disease – not only in the developed world but also in developing countries.
