Abstract

Cervical cancer is a significant global health concern, and Saudi Arabia is facing its impact as well. It ranks ninth in terms of the prevalence of cervical cancer among women globally. Early detection of cervical cancer is crucial as it is highly treatable in its early stages. Screening is recommended for newlywed women who are sexually active, but its implementation depends on individual preferences and healthcare professional advice. This study aims to summarize current evidences on the current level of awareness among women in Saudi Arabia regarding cervical cancer screening methods as well as highlight factors influencing awareness levels in different regions and identify knowledge and awareness gaps related to cervical cancer screening methods. By conducting a systematic review using the PubMed database, the study aims to gather a comprehensive understanding of cervical cancer and screening methods in Saudi Arabia. The findings of this study can guide targeted educational interventions to improve cervical cancer screening rates and promote women's health in the country.
