Cancer of the Cervix
The cervix is the lower part of the uterus - it connects the body of the uterus to the vagina. Cancer of the cervix may take several years to develop. Cervical cancer begins at the pre-cancer stage when abnormal cells develop in the cervix. These cells are non-cancerous and can be detected through the Pap Test. If left untreated, pre-cancerous cells of the cervix can lead to cancer of the cervix. Exposure to sexually transmitted infections such as human papillomavirus and genital herpes may increase your risk of cervical cancer. In order to prevent Cancer of the Cervix, all women who are sexually active or 20 years of age and older, should get a Pap Test every 1 - 3 years. Back to Top
