What is Cervical Cancer?

Cervical cancer is cancer that starts in the cells of the cervix. The cervix is the lower, narrow end of the uterus (womb). The cervix connects the uterus to the vagina (birth canal).

Cervical cancer usually develops slowly over time. Before cancer appears in the cervix, the cells of the cervix go through changes known as dysplasia, in which abnormal cells begin to appear in the cervical tissue.

Adenocarcinoma: Cervical adenocarcinomas develop in the glandular cells of the endocervix. Clear-cell adenocarcinoma also called clear-cell carcinoma or mesonephros is a rare type of cervical adenocarcinoma. oncologistdrdodulmondal.com
