Cancer is when cells in a given part of our body divides without stopping mostly resulting to growths called tumors. Cervical cancer, therefore, is when cells in the narrow neck-like passage at lower end of the uterus, divide multiple times to result in growths. Cervical Cancer, which is caused by a specific type of virus called human papilloma virus (HPV), can be life-threatening if it goes undetected or untreated.
