| description | Cervical cancer, linked to certain types of human papillomavirus (HPV) remains a global health concern. This study investigated the incidence of cervical cancer among women in Edo North, Nigeria. A cross-sectional analytical study design was utilized for this research. Cervical specimens were obtained from 113 women and smears made for Papanicolaou staining technique. Polymerase chain reaction for HPV-DNA detection was further performed on the positive samples. Of the 113 participants, 98.2% (111) had normal cytology, while 1.8% (2) revealed HSIL, both abnormal cytology cases also tested positive for HPV-16. The age range was 46 to 55 years. These findings show incidence rate of cervical cancer development, therefore, the importance of comprehensive prevention strategies. |
