Background : Cervical cancer is a global public health problem, particularly in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). It is the second most frequent and the second leading cause of death in women of reproductive age in the world. In 2022, an incidence of 662,000 and 349,000 deaths was estimated.   Methods : We use a scoping review method using academic journals published from 2020 to 2024. The literature was searched using electronic databases PubMed. We make use of the following search terms: diet or dietary patterns, women, and cervical cancer. A total of 158 research was identified and 9 research was included in this review.   Results : This study highlights the important role of diet in reducing the risk of HPV infection and cervical cancer.  The results of this study confirm that combined intake of nutrients with antioxidant properties can reduce the risk of HPV infection and cervical cancer, as well as the importance of a healthy diet as an effective preventive measure.   Conclusion : The study reveals an association between diet and HPV infection and cervical cancer. Dietary patterns play an important role in reducing the risk of HPV infection and cervical cancer.
