Cancer is a condition in which the body's cells proliferate unchecked. Even if it later spreads to other body areas, cancer is always designated after the area of the body where it first develops. Cervical cancer is a kind of cancer that first appears in the cervix. The vagina (birth canal) and the top portion of the uterus are joined by the cervix. When a woman is pregnant, the baby develops in the uterus (also known as the womb). Cervical cancer is a danger for anybody who has one. People over 30 are more likely to experience it. Cervical cancer is mostly brought on by persistent human papillomavirus (HPV) infection. A common virus called HPV is transmitted during intercourse from one person to another. At some time in their life, at least half of those who engage in sexual activity will have HPV, yet few women will get cervical cancer. Cervical cancer can be avoided with the use of screening tests and the HPV vaccination. Early detection of cervical cancer greatly improves treatment options, length of survival, and quality of life [1-5].
