• Survival from cancer of the uterine cervix in England and Wales up to 2001 (2008, neutral): “Only 1000 deaths were attributed to cervical cancer in 2002, and the screening programme has been credited with preventing 800 or more deaths a year (Quinn et al, 1999; Peto et al, 2004).”
• Coverage of Cervical Cancer Screening in 57 Countries: Low Average Levels and Large Inequalities (2008, background): “In the 1960s and 1970s, incidence rates in high-income countries were similar to those seen in the developing world today; the subsequent decline in cervical cancer incidence and mortality in high-income countries is largely credited to effective screening programs [2–11].”
