• State the epidemiology and risk factors for cervical cancer
• Describe the development of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) and cervical cancer
• Detail the relationship between human papillomavirus (HPV), CIN and cervical cancer
• Describe the grades of CIN and associated histology
• Relate the grades of CIN to the likelihood of progression to cervical cancer
