Abstract in brief

Approximately 13,800 women in the U.S. were projected to be diagnosed with cervical cancer in 2020, prompting an assessment of screening histories among diagnosed women in New Mexico.
Data from 2006-2016 revealed that 64% of 504 women studied were either unscreened or had inadequate screenings prior to their diagnosis, and only 32% of cancers were detected through screening.
The study concluded that enhanced screening coverage could significantly reduce cervical cancer cases, with better recalls and screening sensitivity also being necessary for improvement.
