Cervical Cancer

Cervical cancer develops when healthy cells in the cervix undergo DNA mutations. The DNA of a cell contains the instructions that tell the cell what to do.

Healthy cells grow and multiply at a predictable rate before dying at a predictable time. The mutations cause the cells to grow and multiply uncontrollably, and they do not die. The abnormal cells that are accumulating form a mass (tumor). Cancer cells invade nearby tissues and can break away from a tumor to spread (metastasize) to other parts of the body.

It is unknown what causes cervical cancer, but HPV is known to play a role. HPV is very common, and the majority of people who have it never develop cancer. This includes things like your environment and your life>
