Understanding Cervical Cancer
Cervical cancer, a silent adversary, begins with the abnormal growth of cells in the cervix, which is the lower part of the uterus connecting to the genitals. Various strains of the human papillomavirus (HPV) are linked to the development of most cervical cancers. Regular screening and HPV vaccination are essential in preventing this disease, which typically affects individuals over the age of 30, as stated by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
