Abstract

Cervical cancer is abnormal growth of cells in the uterine cervix generally at the district of the uterus that joins the vagina. It can be spread to other organs in the human body if untreated. Previously it ranked the second cancer affecting ladies worldwide after breast cancer and second causing cancer death among women. Recently, it is the fourth-most common cancer worldwide and the fourth-most common cause of cancer death in women. The most common type of cervical cancer is squamous cell carcinoma followed by adenocarcinoma, while other type is less in number. This paper focusing on a major type; squamous cell carcinoma.

Keywords: Cervical Cancer; Cervical Intra Epithelial Neoplasia (CIN); Risk Factors; Prevention; Etiology; Treatment
