Cervical cancer in the US is not as prevalent as oral cacner.
US Statistics
Cervical cancer is the 8th most common type of cancer in American women. More than 10,000 new patients develop cervical cancer each year, and 3,600 women in the US die from the advanced form of this disease annually.
United Kingdom
Approximately 2,800 women in the UK are diagnosed with cervical cancer each year. As many as 1,100 UK women die from the disease which is the 12th most common cancer for UK women. In 2003, approximately 2300 women were diagnosed with cervical cancer in England alone.
Im pretty sure I read on the main pages of OCF, oral cancer in the US has aprox 34,000 new cases per year.
