Background: Cervical cancer (CC) is one of the most prevalent malignant neoplasms and has a significant impact on global public health, particularly in low- and middle-income regions. Survival among patients with cervical cancer is a critical indicator that reflects not only the effectiveness of clinical interventions but also the strength of healthcare systems and equity in access to care. Understanding the factors that influence survival is essential for designing more effective public health strategies and cancer control programs. The main global risk factors for cervical cancer include persistent infection with high-risk oncogenic human papillomavirus (HPV), early onset of sexual activity, multiple sexual partners, smoking, immunosuppression (especially HIV infection), and prolonged use of oral contraceptives. Objective: To analyze cervical cancer survival among women treated at a secondary-level hospital.
