What is Cervical Cancer?
Cervical cancer is a type of cancer that develops in the cervix—the lower part of the uterus that connects to the vagina. It is most-commonly caused by persistent infection with high-risk types of Human Papillomavirus (HPV). Early stages often show no symptoms, but advanced cases may lead to abnormal vaginal bleeding, pelvic pain, or pain during intercourse.
Early detection through Pap smear or HPV testing significantly improves treatment outcomes. When caught in time, cervical cancer is highly treatable and even curable. Common treatments include surgery (such as hysterectomy or cone biopsy), radiation therapy, chemotherapy, or a combination of these approaches based on the stage of the disease.
