Cervical cancer is a type of cancer that can occur anywhere in the cervix, which is the opening between the vagina and the womb, also known as the neck of the womb.
This cancer primarily affects the reproductive system and is predominantly caused by certain types of human papillomavirus (HPV) infections.
Fortunately, attending cervical screening tests can help in the prevention of cervical cancer by identifying and treating cell changes before they develop into cancer.
