Also, known as ‘cancer of cervix’, is the second most common type of cancer in women. Abnormal cells grow to develop around the organ and at times spread to other parts of the body. Adenocarcinoma is the most common type of cervical cancer, which accounts for 70 to 80 percent, of the occurrence of the disease. The occurrence of the disease has been linked to HPV infection.

Cervical Cancer treatments are most effective when the inception of disease is identified in early stages. It's better to be informed about the symptoms and be cautioned about the disease. But there’s nothing to worry as the all types of cervical cancer is treatable.
