Abstract
Cervix cancer is one of Malaysia’s most significant cancers for women (around 12.9%, with an age-standardised incidence rate of 19.7 per 100,000). It was higher than other Asian, West, and even worldwide nations. The National Strategic Plan for Cancer Control Program 2016–2020 (Health Ministry) was presented to minimize cancer and mortality. The high incidence of cervical cancer in Malaysia is mainly due to women’s insufficient knowledge about its prevention and importance. Compared with traditional literature reviews, the systemic analysis provides many advantages. A clearer review process, a more prominent field of study, and essential priorities that can manage research bias can all help to enhance these reviews. However, better integration, cooperation, and coordination between government and private sector as well as NGOs and professional organisations are essential for optimal cancer control and treatment across the country.
Highlights
Cancer is one of the world’s leading causes of disease and death
The findings indicate that Indian women have the lowest Papanicolaou Smear Test (PST) test rates and are the least likely to know that cervical cancer is detected
This study suggests that a new program should concentrate on the policy context, which promises a positive impact on cervical cancer morbidity and mortality to increase screening coverage and lower the burden of cervical cancer
Summary
Cancer is one of the world’s leading causes of disease and death. An estimated 14,1 million new cases and 8,2 million deaths arRe recorded annually by the World Health Organization (WHO) (WHO, 2020). Due to the rise in elderly populations and unhealthy lifestyles, the incidence is expected to increase. According to the WHO, immediate action is required to improve early detection, screening, and cancer diagnosis to dramatically boost cancer patients’ survival. To increase public understanding and access to early detection, screening, and diagnosis, the theme for World Cancer Day 2019, ‘I Am and I Will,’ seeks to promote and facilitate efforts from people, the health sector, and governments (WHO, 2019). Efforts to raise awareness of cancer will alter these habits by highlighting the value of early diagnosis and promoting early assistance in the culturally acceptable search. Malaysia is undergoing an epidemiological transformation, like most developed and advanced developing countries, where lifestyle-related
