Cervical cancer starts when cells in the cervix begin to grow out of control. The cells then cause tumors that lead to various health issues. It is usually a slow-growing cancer that may not have symptoms but can be found with regular Pap tests. Cervical cancer is usually caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV) infection. To help prevent cervical cancer, many women get yearly screenings and get the HPV vaccine The cervix is the lower, narrow end of the uterus connects the uterus to the vagina. There are two types of cells in the cervix that cancer can start developing – glandular and squamous cells.
