Cervical cancer incidence statistics
Cervical cancer incidence rates (European age-standardised (AS) rates) in England in females are 65% higher in the most deprived quintile compared with the least (2013-2017).[1]
It is estimated that there are around 520 more cases of cervical cancer each year in England than there would be if every deprivation quintile had the same age-specific crude incidence rates as the least deprived quintile.
