Cervical cancer develops in the cervix, the lower part of the uterus that opens into the vagina. It is a cancer with a clearly identified cause and is preventable; regular screening and the HPV (human papillomavirus) vaccine can help reduce its occurrence. If you have symptoms that raise concern, or have not been screened, please consult a medical specialist.
