Cervical Cancer Health Center

Cervical cancer is one of the most common cancers which affect a woman's reproductive organs. A variety of strains of the human papillomavirus (HPV) play a role in causing most cases of cervical cancer. When a woman is exposed to HPV, the immune system typically prevents the virus from doing harm, but in a small number of women, the virus survives for years before it eventually converts some cells on the surface of the cervix into cancer cells. Typically, cervical cancers occurs in women over the age of 30.
