Nigeria is a country in Western Africa where the incidence rate of cervical cancer is 25/100,000. There are 32 million women aged 15-64 years old. If we were to conduct a one-time screen over 1 year, 8000 new invasive cervical cancers would be detected. Currently, 80% of cases present in Stage III. While a one-time screen should detect some earlier stages, there could be as many as 6400 Stage I...
