Dr. Uma Swamy answered

Not particularly.: Cervical cancer is a hpv related cancer which is transmitted sexually. Often there is less education on the topic but also fewer women going for screening which can lead to higher numbers of cervical cancer. Here is a good overview of cervical cancer http://www.Cancer.Net/cancer-types/cervical-cancer.
