cervical cancer, screening, barriersAbstract
Cervical cancer (CRC), which is the fourth most common cause of cancer incidence and mortality in women worldwide, remains one of the major public health problems.
The purpose of our research is to reveal the barriers that prevent cancer screening in different countries of the world.
Material and methods:
We searched literature in PUBmed, PMC, Scholar google, Elsevier databases. Search keywords: cervical cancer, screening barriers, women's awareness.
Conclusions:
- Lack of knowledge and awareness about screening is a widespread barrier to screening for STDs.
- In developed countries, the barriers to screening for STDs are: fear of pain or discomfort, inconvenience and lack of time, while in low- and middle-income countries, cultural/traditional and religious barriers are important.
