INTRODUCTION
The female body is a delicate, beautiful and one of gods greatest creation. Women

should be proud of themselves for having the curve, sassy figure which is created, designed differently from men out there. One of the different body parts that separate a woman from a man is that women have cervixes. The cervix is the lower part of the uterus, the spot where a child develops throughout pregnancy. As we know cervical cancer is a very common disease among the female gender. It is the second most dangerous cancer that usually attacks female after breast cancer. Cervical cancer is brought about by numerous sorts of a virus called human papillomaviruses (HPV). The virus spreads through sexual contact. Most ladies' figures are ready to battle HPV infection. In any case at times the virus can lead to cancer and yet women are at a higher hazard in the event that they smoke, have countless youngsters, utilize anti-conception medication pills for quite a while, or have HIV tainting. Cervical cancer should not create any side effects from the beginning, yet later, you might have pelvic ache or bleeding from the vagina. It frequently takes some years for ordinary cells in the cervix to transform into cancer cells which makes it even worst due to the fact it cannot be detect in the early stages of the cancer. A vaccine for young ladies and green ladies ensures in opposition to the four sorts of HPV that create overwhelmingly cervical malignancies. Thus, this research will be conducted on the purpose to help out on raising more awareness about what is cervical cancer and what women can do to prevent it.

RESEARCH OBJECTIVES

This report is to raise awareness on the serious issue of cervical cancer among the female students. This is because cervical cancer had become one of the most cancer that attack women today. So, by doing this research we hope that we can increase the awareness of female students toward this cancer. Plus, this research is also to educate female students on how to detect the symptoms of cervical cancer before it enters the first stage. Most of the people did not realize the symptoms and it becomes worst when they only realize when the cancer had become on the critical stage. Other than that is to inform female students on how important for them to get the Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) vaccination from the UiTM Alor Gajah Health Department. All of the female students who were born on 1993 can get the vaccine free of charge. Last but not least, increase the number of female students to get their HPV vaccination. Most of the female students get scared to get the vaccine so that when their awareness toward this problem is increase so that by hook or by crook they must get the vaccine.

PROBLEM STATEMENT

In the early stages of cervical cancer, there usually are no symptoms. Cervical cancer symptoms begin to appear as the disease advances, invading deeper into the cervix and surrounding tissue.Based on our research, we want to prove that not many female students are aware of what cervical cancer is and how critical it can be if one is diagnosed with the disease due to they do not have enough knowledge about what is cervical cancer. Moreover, when they are not aware of the existence of the disease, they would not bother to know about what the symptoms of the disease are and making the number of percentage of females to be diagnosed to increased more and more yearly. Therefore, cervical cancer is one of the biggest, new things to deal with for female students in our modern society. We want to research about this problem and investigate on how to raise more awareness and make students realise about the negative effect that will harm them in future.

4.0 SCOPE OF STUDY


The scope of our study is mainly located at UiTM Alor Gajah. Our main target basically isfemale students which are from the age ranged from 18 to 19 years old who are born in the year 1993. This research was designed to understand the level of awareness of these students on how serious is cervical canceris. So, that these students are more keen on getting their Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) vaccination from the universitys health department. The scope of study is by doing the research around UiTM Alor Gajah itself and also by doing some revision from materials that is about cervical cancer taken either from the Internet, hard copy materials such as booklets and pamphlet from the UiTM Alor Gajah Health Department and also from distributing questions to random female students as a survey for us to have a better understanding about this issue.

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY

Our main location is to conduct our research at UiTM Alor Gajah and will be among UiTM student who are born in the year 1993. Besides that, we also conduct our research by setting some information from the internet. We also went to see lecturer to get some reference from the pass assignment. We also did some studies using following methods: Library research The research will be held in UiTM Alor Gajahs library and other libraries around Alor Gajah. Reference will be done by referring to the books in the library which related to the topics we were doing observation. The book could be any book in the library and also we have taken some pamphlet and booklets from the UiTM Alor Gajah Heath Department as an extra source of information. Questionnaires We will pick 30 female students, born in the year 1993 randomly and give them the question that we had prepared for this research. We will do this among the student in UiTM Alor Gajah. The questions are related to our research.

6.0 CONCLUSION
As a conclusion, cervical cancer is one of the deadly diseases that often affect women. Most of these diseases only can be identified when it has been on a critical level due to lack of awareness of the symptoms of this disease by the patient. Actually the disease can be prevented by taking vaccine in the early teens. In fact, this vaccine also provided free by the government for those born in 1993. Thus the society must be exposed, especially women with cervical cancer awareness so that they can avoid this deadly disease. As a fact, the World Health Organization (WHO) says that cervical cancer is among the three types of cancer that often affects women today. Many women lack of knowledge about the disease and if they are not disclosed immediately will certainly increase the number of patients. In fact some of them are afraid to take preventive vaccine although it is provided free of charge and there is also taking simple disease. The woman should be sensitive of all the health problems they face so that they are not infected by the disease. Prevention needs to be done before the disease progresses and ultimately fatal as a result to their careless and unwillingness to take the shot. Disease prevention campaigns should be done on a large scale so that Malaysian women are not suffering from this disease and thus reduce the incidence of cervical cancer patients in Malaysia.
