Abstract
Despite the global implementation of preventive strategies against Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) infection, the incidence of invasive cervical cancer rose by nearly 1.3-fold, from 471,000 annual cases in 2000 to 604,000 cases in 2020. With over 340,000 deaths annually, cervical cancer is the fourth leading cause of cancer mortality in women globally.
There is a need to understand other factors besides HPV such as metabolic syndrome (MetS) that potentially influence the onset and progression of cervical cancer. In this narrative review, we describe evidence showing that Metabolic syndrome (MetS) increases the risk for cervical cancer and worsens its prognosis. Combined screening for MetS and cervical cancer has potential to significantly reduce morbidity and mortality in women with cervical cancer.
