Abstract
Carcinoma cervix presently poses a major burden on India’s health care system. The incidence of these tumors is on an increasing trend worldwide. There will be 18.1 million new cases and 9.6 million cancer deaths worldwide in 2018. Globally, cervical cancer ranks fourth for both incidence and mortality. However, in India every year 96,922 new cases of cervical cancer are diagnosed and amongst them 60,078 die from the disease.1
