Diplomsko delo je osredotočeno na rak materničnega vratu (RMV). Na začetku je predstavljena definicija bolezni, sledijo osnovni epidemiološki podatki in etiologija nastanka bolezni. V nadaljevanju so opisani znaki in simptomi RMV, načela razvrstitve in osnovne diagnostične metode (PAP test, triažni test HPV). Predstavljeni so tudi različni načini zdravljenja RMV, cepljenje proti HPV ter različni dejavniki tveganja za nastanek RMV (npr. okužba s HPV, spolni odnosi v zgodnjih mladostnih letih, večje število porodov ipd.).
