Cervical cancer begins in the cells of the cervix, the lower part of the uterus that connects to the vagina. It is often caused by persistent infection with certain strains of the human papillomavirus (HPV). Advances in screening and vaccination have significantly improved prevention and early detection, leading to better outcomes. Understanding cervical cancer, its risk factors, and the latest treatment options can empower patients and their loved ones to make informed decisions. Support networks, medical advancements, and personalized treatment plans provide hope and improved quality of life for those diagnosed with cervical cancer.
