CANCER FACT SHEETS: CERVICAL CANCER Estimated age-standardised rates (World) in the world (per 100 000) Males Females Incidence Mortality WHO South-East Asia Region More developed regions WHO African Region WHO Region of the Americas WHO Eastern Mediterranean Region WHO European Region Less developed regions WHO Western Pacific Region IARC Member State (24 countries) United States of America China India European Union (EU-28) 20 0 20 40 40 At a glance Cervical cancer is the fourth most common cancer in women and the seventh most common cancer overall. In 2012, worldwide, there are estimated to have been 528 000 new cases. Like with liver cancer, a large majority (around 85%) of the global burden occurs in the less developed regions, where cervical cancer accounts for almost 12% of all cancers in females. High-risk regions, with estimated 2012 age-standardized incidence rates of more than 30 cases per 100 000 females, include eastern Africa (42.7 cases), Melanesia (33.3 cases), southern Africa (31.5 cases), and central Africa (30.6 cases). Incidence rates are lowest in Australia/New Zealand (5.5 cases) and western Asia (4.4 cases). Cervical cancer remains the most common cancer in women in eastern and central Africa. In 2012, worldwide, there were an estimated 266 000 deaths from cervical cancer, accounting for 7.5% of all cancer deaths in females. Almost 9 in 10 cervical cancer deaths (87%) occur in the less developed regions. Mortality varies by a factor of 18 across the regions of the world, with 2012 mortality rates ranging from less than 2 deaths per 100 000 females in western Asia, western Europe, and Australia/New Zealand to more than 20 deaths per 100 000 females in Melanesia (20.6 deaths), central Africa (22.2 deaths) and eastern Africa (27.6 deaths).
