Women with cervical cancer with disabilities, especially with severe disabilities, were diagnosed at later stages, received less treatment, and had higher mortality rates, compared with patients who lacked disabilities. Social support and policies, along with education for women with disabilities, their families, and healthcare professionals, are needed to improve these disparities.
