Infection with the human papillomavirus (HPV) is the main risk factor for cervical cancer. This virus is so common that it affects nearly 70 percent of sexually active women.
Cervical cancer usually grows slowly, over many years. Before actual cancer cells in the cervix develop, the tissues of the cervix undergo changes at the cellular level — called dysplasia, or precancers. At this early precancer stage, these dysplastic cells can often be removed and the condition cured with an office procedure.
Types
There are three types of cervical cancer.
- Squamous cell carcinoma
This type of cervical cancer is by far the most common — it’s accounts for about 70 percent of all cases. Squamous cell carcinomas cover the outer part of the cervix closest to the uterus. - Adenocarcinomas
This type of cervical cancer accounts for about 25 percent of all cases. Adenocarcinomas start in the mucus-producing gland cells that line the endocervix. - Adenosquamous carcinomas
This cervical cancer — which has both squamous cell and adenocarcinoma cell types — is the rarest of the three types.
