Cervix-cancer
Cervix-cancer is a type of cancer that develops in the cervix, the lower part of the uterus found in the female reproductive system. It is the second most common type of cancer among women worldwide and can be fatal if left untreated. Early detection is essential for successful treatment and prevention of this cancer. Several screening tests, such as Pap smears, are available to detect changes in the cervix that might indicate cancer. Treatment options include surgery, radiation therapy, and chemotherapy. Early diagnosis and timely treatment are crucial for better outcomes and can significantly reduce the risk of mortality.

Cancer starts when cells in the body begin to grow out of control. Cells in nearly any part of the body can become cancer, and can spread to other areas of the body. Cervical cancer is caused by a virus called human papillomavirus, or HPV. It occurs when abnormal cells on the cervix grow out of control. It starts in the cells lining the cervix.
