What is Cervical Cancer?

Cervical Cancer is a malignant tumor that develops in the cells of the cervix, the lower part of the uterus that connects to the vagina, and is strongly linked to persistent infection with certain high-risk strains of human papillomavirus (HPV). It typically develops slowly over many years, progressing through precancerous changes that can be detected and treated before becoming invasive cancer. Regular screening through Pap smears and HPV testing has dramatically reduced cervical cancer deaths in countries with organized screening programs. It remains a significant cause of cancer death in regions with limited screening access.
