Cervical cancer
Cervical cancer
Cervical cancer is a type of cancer that develops in the cells of the cervix, the lower part of the uterus that connects to the vagina. It is primarily caused by persistent infection with high-risk strains of the human papillomavirus (HPV). Cervical cancer often progresses slowly and may not cause symptoms in its early stages. However, symptoms may include abnormal vaginal bleeding, pelvic pain, or pain during intercourse. Regular screening tests such as Pap smears and HPV tests can detect precancerous changes or early-stage cervical cancer, allowing for timely intervention. Treatment options for cervical cancer include surgery, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, or a combination of these modalities, depending on the stage and extent of the disease.
