Overview

Cervical cancer is a type of cancer that develops in the cells of the cervix, which is the lower part of the uterus that connects to the vagina. It is caused by the Human Papillomavirus (HPV) and is the fourth most common type of cancer in women worldwide. Cervical cancer can cause serious health problems, including death, if not diagnosed and treated in its early stages. Early detection and screening can help to reduce the risk of cervical cancer and save lives. Screening tests include a Pap smear and an HPV test, which are important for detecting pre-cancerous changes in the cells of the cervix. Treatment for cervical cancer can include surgery, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, or a combination of these methods. Vaccines are also available for the prevention of HPV, the cause of cervical cancer, which is an important and effective way to help reduce the risk of developing the disease.
