The cervical cancer profile for Venezuela (Bolivarian Republic of) shows concerning mortality and morbidity rates, with an age-standardized incidence of 22.2 per 100,000 women in 2020, a cumulative risk of 2.3% by age 74, and 71,100 deaths in 2019. Prevention efforts are limited, with no national HPV vaccination program included in the schedule, low coverage data not available, and tobacco use prevalence at 2.3%. Secondary prevention includes a national cervical cancer screening program using cytology, with moderate coverage: 54% of women aged 25-64 have been screened at least once, and 45% in the last 5 years. Treatment resources are available but inconsistent, as per guidelines but with limited data on radiotherapy and brachytherapy units. Progress toward WHO elimination targets for 2030 is ongoing but may face challenges due to gaps in data and service availability. Overall, key areas for improvement include expanding HPV prevention and enhancing screening and treatment infrastructure.
