Read about it, go for tests and take the women folk in your family and your friends for screening. I am furnishing some data that I searched from net, please go through it.

CERVICAL CANCER
Not many know that India, with a population of 365.71 million has women aged between 15 years and above who stand at the risk of developing cervical cancer. A World Health Organisation study reveals that every year 1,32,082 women are diagnosed with this particular kind of cancer and 74,118 die from the disease. The growing risk of cervical cancer in women in India (aged 0-64 years) is 2.4% compared to 1.3% for the world.
But, If detected at a pre-cancerous stage (when the cells are not normal, but are not yet cancerous), this cancer is 100 per cent curable. Cervical cancer is the second leading cause of cancer deaths among women 20 to 29 years old. And this can be contracted by women at any age.

Cervical cancer, in women, is the second most common cancer worldwide, next only to breast cancer. In India, cervical cancer is the most common woman-related cancer, followed by breast cancer.

Every year cervical cancer is diagnosed in about 500,000 women globally and is responsible for more than 280,000 deaths annually. There is a wide variation in the incidence of cervical cancer across the globe. In the west, early detection through regular screening has aided to significantly control the prevalence of this disease, thereby, lowering its incidence. In the last 50 years in the United States, the Pap smear test has reduced the deaths related to cervical cancer by three-quarters. At one time cervical cancer was one of the most dreaded cancer and the leading causes of of death in women in the US but now it is the eighth most common cancer there. 80% of the new cervical cancer cases occur in developing countries, like India, which reports approximately one fourth of the world's cases of cervical cancer each year.

The most common cancer, in women, worldwide-BREAST CANCER
Right now breast cancer is second to cervical cancer in India, but by the year 2020 it will become the most common cancer in women here too.
The rise in breast cancer cases is being documented mainly in the metros, but it can be safely said that many cases in rural areas go unnoticed. It is reported that one in 22 women in India is likely to suffer from breast cancer during her lifetime, while the figure is definitely more in America with one in eight being a victim of this deadly cancer.
The problem with breast cancer is that it has no peculiar cause and a lump in breast, which is one of the major indications of this cancer, can be felt at times when your cancer is already six or ten years old. The best way is to get breast examination done by a breast specialist and go in for procedures like mammography in every two years by your doctor’s advice. Also Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology (FNAC) and biopsy are two ways of testing.
