Welcome to the Cervical Cancer Channel

No one knows the exact cause or causes of cervical cancer, a disease that occurs when malignant cells form in the tissues of the cervix. But there are a number of risk factors that can increase a woman's chances of developing the disease, such as being infected with the human papillomavirus (HPV). There are several treatment options available for cervical cancer -- which rarely causes death in women who have regular screenings or are younger than 30 years of age -- and researchers continue to look at new ways of treating the disease.
