Abstract Cervical cancer (CESC) remains a leading cause of cancer-related mortality in women. Recent studies have identified ferro-aging as a genuine biological pathway in primates, representing an iron-dependent metabolic process. However, cellular ageing and the decline in overall physiological function play a crucial role in tumour progression. Based on this, we have established a prognostic model related to ferro-aging and evaluated its predictive and diagnostic value in cervical cancer.
