Can you die if you don't get checked out for cervical cancer?

Question:

Answers:
Women have a 1 in 130 chance of getting cervical cancer in their lifetime, but dying from cervical cancer is relatively rare. The mortality rate is about 2.5 per 100,000 women. This rate is so low, in part, because finding cervical cancer is fairly easy with regular pap smears. If you are nervous about having a pap, relax. Read more about them at the second link below. They really aren't all that bad, especially if they help save your life!

Other Answers:
Not if you don't have the cancer in the first place.
Being checked out is to stop it in advance, go get checked, my friend just found out she had it. They caught it in time, so she will be fine now. She's only 24.

If you have it, yes. You can die from any kind of cancer.

Yes, you can but it is treatable! Go to the doctors and find out! It may not be something you want to do but you have to if you want to be safe!

Early detection is crucial in any type of cancer, if you had it and never got checked it could eventually spread to other areas in your body and could result in death.

Getting checked isn't going to prevent it. But you should go get checked. I went one time and they told me that I had Cancerous Cells, and we prevented it before it happend. You HAVE to get checked. What makes you think you wouldn't?

I was diagnosed with Cervical Dysplasia which is pre-cancer. I was very lucky, if I would have let it go there is a very good possiblity I would have died from the Cancer spreading. I recommend getting checked at least once a year (preferrably once every 6 months). This is not something to take lightly since you really don't feel any symptoms. You would not even know it was there unless you get checked for it. A Pap Smear is really not that big of a deal in the scope of things.

11% of United States women report that they do not have regular cervical cancer screenings
In the United States, About 14,000 women are diagnosed with cervical cancer disease each year and more than 3,900 women die in the USA each year from this disease.
Women in developing countries account for about 85 percent of both the yearly cases of cervical cancer (estimated at 493,000 cases worldwide) and the yearly deaths from cervical cancer (estimated at 273,500 deaths worldwide).
In the majority of developing countries, cervical cancer remains the number-one cause of cancer-related deaths among women.
A woman who does not have cervical cancer screening on a regular basis significantly increases her chances of developing cervical cancer.
High-Risk HPV Types are directly related to cervical cancer, yet many women are unaware of what HPV is or the relationship it has to cervical cancer disease.
