Abstract
Cervical cancer, caused by the Human Papillomavirus (HPV), is a significant public health concern worldwide, and it remains a critical issue in Singapore. As HPV is a sexually transmitted virus, the stigma surrounding cervical cancer and its association often hamper efforts to increase uptake of these lifesaving interventions. Family physicians can help break the stigma related to HPV and seize the opportunity for effective primary (HPV vaccination) and secondary (cervical screening and treatment) cancer preventive approaches.
