What is Cervical Cancer?
Cervical cancer is caused by abnormal cells in the cervix, and it is closely linked to HPV infection. Screening with Pap tests can help detect it early.
Infection with human papillomavirus (HPV) can cause cervical cancer, and the virus is found in over 99% of cervical cancers. HPV is the most common sexually transmitted infection (STI) in the United States, with about 43 million infections each year. Learn more about causes, prevention, and treatments.
