CAIRO - 24 July 2023: The Egyptian Ministry of Health and Population said that cervical cancer is one of the most difficult cancers affecting women, with a mortality rate of 63 percent.
Cervical cancer affects the lower part of the uterus that connects the body of the uterus to the vagina and is responsible for the human papilloma virus, the ministry added.
The Ministry of Health explained that cervical cancer occurs as a result of infection with certain types of these highly dangerous viruses, which may lead to approximately 70 percent of cervical cancer and the carcinogenic lesions that cause it.
And she continued: “There are other types of non-cancer human papillomavirus (HPV) (particularly types 6 and 11) that may cause warts in the genitals and respiratory papilloma, a disease in which tumors grow within the airways leading from the nose and mouth to the lungs.”
Although these cases rarely lead to death, they can cause a significant degree of disease, and the genitals are extremely common, highly contagious, and affect sexual life.
Human papilloma virus is the most common viral infection of the genital tract, most women and men (approximately 80%) of sexually active people will be infected with it at some point in their lives and some of them may have repeated infection.
