You're probably going to have to do a little research if you want to find out the youngest person who was diagnosed with cervical cancer.

I did find this article online though:
"The risk of cervical cancer goes up with age. However, because of widespread screening with Pap smear in the United States, the risk of cervical cancer stops rising around age 40, after which it remains relatively steady. The average age the disease is found in the United States is 47.

Women who have sex for the first time at an early age have a higher risk of cervical cancer. Scientists aren't sure why. One reason may be that the human papillomavirus (HPV) more easily infects a young woman's cervix. HPV is a sexually transmitted disease. Some types of HPV can cause cells in the cervix to become cancerous."

While you can't see 'exact' age, I have yet to find anyone under 7 in any statistical government data- the UK's data has no-one under 10.
