Cervical cancer is a type of cancer that develops in the cells of the cervix, the lower, narrow part of the uterus that connects to the vagina. Nearly all cases of cervical cancer (over 99%) are caused by persistent infection with certain high-risk types of the Human Papillomavirus (HPV). HPV is a very common sexually transmitted infection, and while most HPV infections clear on their own, persistent infection with high-risk strains can lead to abnormal cell changes in the cervix over time, eventually progressing to cancer if left untreated. In its early stages, cervical cancer often presents with no symptoms, which underscores the critical importance of regular screening. As the cancer progresses, symptoms may include abnormal vaginal bleeding (e.g., between periods, after intercourse, or after menopause), unusual vaginal discharge (which may be watery, bloody, or have a foul odor), and pelvic pain or pain during intercourse. Diagnosis typically involves a Pap test (Papanicolaou test) which screens for abnormal cervical cells, and an HPV test. If abnormalities are detected, further tests like a colposcopy (visual examination of the cervix with a magnifying device) and a biopsy are performed to confirm the presence of cancer. Treatment options depend on the stage of the cancer and may include surgery (such as hysterectomy), radiation therapy, chemotherapy, or targeted therapy. Crucially, cervical cancer is largely preventable through vaccination against HPV (recommended for adolescents before sexual activity) and regular cervical cancer screening (Pap tests), which can detect pre-cancerous changes allowing for timely treatment before cancer develops.
