Introduction:To assess the level of knowledge, attitude, and practices of women of reproductive age of 20 -70 years on their understanding of the risk factors of cervical cancer, its early detection, and prevention. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted in rural areas of Komarapalayam from August 2016 to January 2017 by using pre-tested modified questionnaire. The purpose of the questionnaire was to assess the demographic data, exposure to risk factors, knowledge, attitude, and practice of the participants toward cervical cancer. Results: A total of 500 married women have participated in this study. Majority 26.6% had the secondary education; most common 34% age group being 31 -40 years. 39% had first childbirth and 34.6% were married between 19 to 22 years; 27.8% had abnormal uterine bleeding were the most common prevalence of risk factors. Mostly 98.4% and 96.6% were heard about cervical cancer and its screening. Many women 82.2% had never undergone cervical cancer screening and 98.9% of the women had never been vaccinated. The main sources of information were friends and relatives (42.8%) and fear of procedure (30.4%) was the main barrier for not undergoing cervical screening. Conclusion:The knowledge about risk factors, sign were very poor, but the method of prevention was good about cervical cancer in the study population. Most of the women had never undergone screening and vaccination for cervical cancer. But their attitude is favourable for screening.

Cervical cancer is the most common cancer which affects women next to breast cancer in the worldwide. Most cervical cancers are related to Human Papillomavirus (HPV) infection. We can prevent about 40% of cancer through Primary prevention and considered as the most cost-effective way of battling cancer. In this paper I have constructed a mathematical model of cervical cancer with Human papilloma virus transmission with and without vaccination. Infection with human papillomavirus (HPV) is the main cause of cervical cancer. To construct the mathematical model I consider the population in four compartment (the number of susceptible women, the number of infected women with HPV. Since HPV infected human may or may not infected by cervical cancer, we have two additional compartments, the number of Infectious HPV women population who are uninfected with cervical cancer and number of Infectious HPV women population who are infected with cervical cancer. Ordinary differential equation is used to construct the model and dimension less model is obtained, then the model validity lucidly verified using simulation study and mathematical analysis tools. These models have generally shown that vaccinating females can be technique to reduce and control cervical cancer. Essential observations are made from the simulation study and physical interpretations are drawn and presented strongly in the paper.

Background: Cervical cancer is the second most common cancer and the leading cause of cancer-related death in Ethiopian women. About 77.6% of women died of 6294 new cases reported in 2019. Early screening for cervical cancer has substantially reduced morbidity and mortality attributed to it. In Ethiopia, most of the women visit the health facilities at the late stage of the disease in which the offered intervention is not promising. Therefore, we aimed to assess the level of cervical cancer screening uptake and its determinant among women of Ambo town, Ethiopia. Methods: Community-based cross-sectional study was conducted among 422 women aged 20-65 years. An interviewer-administered questionnaire was used to collect the data. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 25. Estimates were presented using an odds ratio (OR) with 95% CI. Statistical significance was declared at a p value of <0.05. Results:In the present study, 392 women were participated giving a response rate of 93%. Only 8.7% (34) of the study participants were received cervical cancer screening in their lifetime. Being in the age group of 30-39 years (AOR = 3.2, 95% CI: 1.22, 8.36), having cervical cancer-related discussions with a healthcare provider (AOR = 3.5; 95% CI: 1.17, 10.7), and knowing the availability of cervical cancer screening service (AOR = 2.8; 95% CI: 1.03, 7.87) were significantly associated with uptake of cervical cancer screening. Conclusion:In this study, cervical cancer screening uptake is very low. Our study identifies clues for determinants of cervical cancer screening uptake. Thus, further studies using a better study design might be helpful to explore determinants of low utilization of CC screening services and suggest an appropriate intervention that increases CC screening uptake in the study area.
