Early cancer of the cervix (cancer in situ), occurs in two main age groups. It occurs in 6 of every 1000 women aged 30-45 years and in about 5 of every 1000 women over 60 years old. The highest incidence, however, is in women aged 25-29 years of age.
Over 95% of people with early cancer of the cervix can be CURED.
