Cervical cancer situation in Malaysia: A systematic literature review

Cervix cancer is one of Malaysia's most significant cancers for women (around 12.9%, with an age-standardised incidence rate of 19.7 per 100, 000). It was higher than other Asian, West, and even worldwide nations. The National Strategic Plan for Cancer Control Program 2016-2020 (Health Ministry) was presented to minimize cancer and mortality. The high incidence of cervical cancer in Malaysia is mainly due to women's insufficient knowledge about its prevention and importance. Compared with traditional literature reviews, the systemic analysis provides many advantages. A clearer review process, a more prominent field of study, and essential priorities that can manage research bias can all help to enhance these reviews. However, better integration, cooperation, and coordination between government and private sector as well as NGOs and professional organisations are essential for optimal cancer control and treatment across the country.
