Cervical cancer can occur at age 32, but uncommonly; peak is age 40-50. It's more common in developing countries because pap smears HPV vaccine are less available. Cervical cancer is easily prevented -- follow your doctor's advice about pap smears, which are highly effective at detecting pre-cancer or early cancer when easily treated, several years before it becomes dangerous.
