Introduction: Cervical cancer (CC) is the fourth leading agent of cancer and the second most common cancer among women. Among the factors that are effective in the occurrence of this agent can be pointed to the lack of developed educational programs and the lack of awareness about CC. Studies show a lack of women's awareness and the lack of proper education and consequently increase this cancer. Therefore, it can be said that educating and raising women's awareness in this field is effective in preventing and reducing CC. Considering the importance of education in the prevention of CC, this study was conducted to investigate the level of women's awareness about CC and the role of education in the prevention of this cancer.
Methods: By researching in PubMed, Google Scholar, and Sid databases from 2015 to 2020 found 96 articles. 32 articles were excluded with checking title, 25 articles were excluded with reading the abstract, and 10 articles were excluded by reading the full text. Finally, 29 articles were selected for review. The language of all articles was English.
Results: The following results were obtained by studying 11 clinical trial articles: Suffering from CC is one of the leading causes of cancer death worldwide. Efforts to raise the level of education and awareness of women to prevent CC through educational intervention is an important step in women's health. Previous articles have shown that when women become aware of the causes and risk factors for cervical cancer, they are probably taking steps to become aware of the prevention of this cancer. Educational interventions have increased women's awareness, knowledge about CC, and its prevention. Women who have received training programs have more knowledge about CC prevention
Conclusion: According to the articles and examining the level of women's awareness about CC and the role of education in the prevention of CC, it can be said that increasing the level of awareness and education is directly related to CC prevention. Due to the greater focus of previous studies on the effect of vaccination on CC prevention, it is recommended that preventive strategies be used in future studies.
