Lay summary

  • Effective screening and vaccination programs can potentially eliminate cervical cancer in the future; however, to accomplish this goal, we have to be able to offer services to all girls and women.

  • In particular, women who live in rural areas and women who have low socioeconomic status are at highest risk.

  • Efforts are required to improve access to care at all levels for these women at risk.
