Cervical cancer is the fourth most common cancer of women around the world. Age-adjusted incidence and mortality rates of cervical cancer were 11.78 and 3.29 per 100,000, respectively, in China in 2015. Cervical cancer screening rates were 25.7% for women aged 20-64 years old and 31.4% for women aged 35-64 years old in China in 2015. Screening rates were lower in rural areas than in urban areas and varied across provinces. Efforts should be made to continue to strengthen national and local policy initiatives, financial support, health education, and accessibility to women in rural areas for cervical cancer screening coverage.
