From the Paper:

"Risk factors for this type of cancer include having genital warts, beginning one's sex life at an early age, having multiple sex partners at a young age, smoking, and women with weakened immune systems such as women who have HIV or Hepatitis C(Cancer - cervix http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/article/000893.htm).
World wide the incidence of cervical cancer is the third most common female cancer, though in the United States the rate is lower because of early detection through regular pap smears.
Since 1941 the death rate for cervical cancer has been reduced by 70 percent. There are approximately 12,000 United State women diagnosed with it each year."
