This is the first study to publish patient demographics, diagnostic stage, patterns of care and survival outcomes in patients diagnosed with cervical cancer in Sarawak. Similar to a previous national study, the majority of cervical cancer patients were diagnosed between the age of 40 to 59, with a mean age of 53 years old [19]. Our patient cohort comprised 36.2% indigenous Iban, 22.2% Chinese and 18.6% Malay, a demographic unique to Sarawak, as the Iban are the largest indigenous ethnic group.
