Cervical cancer occurs in the cells of the cervix, which is the lower part of the uterus and connects to the vagina. Most cervical cancers are caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV), which is usually transmitted through sexual contact. When the body is first infected with HPV, the immune system tries to protect the body from infection. However, HPV can cause abnormal cells in the cervix to develop into cancer cells. Therefore, cervical cancer screening can help reduce the risk of cervical cancer.
