Abstract

Currently, cervical cancer is one of the widest-spread forms of malignant neoplasms. This disease occupies seventh place in incidence among all malignant neoplasms and third place in women (after mammary and colorectal cancers). Recently, a considerable increase in frequency of diagnosing different forms of cervical cancer in young women (up to 40 years old) has been observed.
