Activity Description

Cervical cancer, the fourth most common cancer among women worldwide, is caused almost entirely by human papillomavirus (HPV). High-risk types of HPV can lead to cervical intraepithelial lesions which, over time, can progress to cervical cancer. In the United States and other developed countries, most screening and early detection efforts involve HPV testing and Papanicolaou (Pap) smears. HPV testing identifies exposure to both low- and high-risk types of HPV, whereas Pap smears identify abnormal cytology.

Cervical cancer is a largely preventable disease. Primary prevention and screening are the most effective modalities for decreasing the healthcare burden and mortality attributable to cervical cancer. Since 2006, HPV vaccination has been available to prevent cervical cancer. Interprofessional team members must educate young female patients (ideally, prior to initiating sexual activity) and their families about this highly effective vaccine. This activity details primary prevention strategies, screening guidelines, diagnostic evaluations, current staging, and specific treatment modalities for invasive cervical cancer.


Target Audience

This activity has been designed to meet the educational needs of physicians, physician associates, nurses, pharmacists, and nurse practitioners.

Learning Objectives

At the conclusion of this activity, the learner will be better able to:

  • Identify the risk factors, signs, and symptoms of cervical cancer, including the role of high-risk HPV types in its development.

  • Apply evidence-based treatment modalities for precancerous cervical lesions, and assess the indications, techniques, potential complications, and follow-up care associated with these interventions.

  • Select appropriate treatment modalities for invasive cervical cancer based on patient characteristics, staging, and available options, including surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy.

  • Collaborate with the interprofessional team to increase HPV vaccination initiatives and to ensure coordinated and comprehensive care for patients diagnosed with cervical cancer.

  • Outline the pharmacologic therapy as it applies to Cervical Cancer
