What is Cervical Cancer?
Cervical cancer is cancer that starts in the
cells of the cervix. The cervix is the lower,
narrow end of the uterus (womb). The cervix
connects the uterus to the vagina (birth
canal). Cervical cancer usually develops slowly
over time. Before cancer appears in the cervix,
the cells of the cervix go through changes known
as dysplasia, in which abnormal cells begin to
appear in the cervical tissue.
