Abstract
Cervical cancer is one of the leading causes of cancer in women of childbearing age worldwide. A substantial fraction of cervical cancer is associated with Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) infection and is preventable through vaccination and screening. The aim of the study is to describe geographic and epidemiologic trends in incidence and mortality of cervical cancer in Russia during 2007–2018. Publicly accessible data from the P.A. Herzen Moscow Oncology Research Institute and the Ministry of Health of Russian Federation for 2007–2018 was used for this study. Cervical cancer incidence and mortality rates were analyzed using descriptive statistics and results were mapped to determine the geographic distribution. Potential contributing risk factors in the population were studied using univariate and multivariate Poisson regression analyses. A total of 187,013 patients were diagnosed with cervical cancer in Russia between 2007 and 2018. The average age-standardized incidence (ASIR) and mortality rates (ASMR) were 15.70/100,000 and 5.76/100,000 females, respectively, with a 27% increase in the incidence observed between 2007 and 2018. The highest ASIR was observed in the Far Eastern Federal District and the lowest in the Central Federal District. Multivariate model for cervical cancer ASIR showed that daily smoking (p = 0·0003) and syphilis (p = 0.003) were significantly associated with cervical cancer incidence. The incidence of cervical cancer in Russia is rising at a significant pace. This trend can in part be attributed to a lack of nationwide cervical cancer screening . The presented results are valuable for informing public health policy on HPV vaccinations, smoking prevention and cervical cancer screening as urgent interventions are needed to combat a troubling trend.

Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
