Literature Review: Early-Age Sexual Activity as a Risk Factor for Cervical Cancer
Keywords:
Cervical cancer, HPV, Early-age sexual activityAbstract
Cervical cancer is one of the most common cancers in women and is largely caused by Human Papillomavirus (HPV) infection, particularly the oncogenic types 16 and 18. This literature review analyzes nine articles related to cervical cancer risk factors, with a focus on early-age sexual activity. Key data exploration was carried out using the PICO technique (Population, Intervention, Compare, Outcome). The analysis results show that first sexual intercourse before the age of 20 and early marriage are dominant risk factors. This literature affirms that preventing HPV infection through vaccination, sexual education, and increased awareness of hygiene are important strategies for reducing the risk of cervical cancer.
