What causes cervical cancer?
Cervical cancer commonly arise from the cells the line the cervix which undergo genetic mutation to form cancer cells which then multiple and form a cancer mass. The cancer cells can also spread locally to adjacent structures, to the lymph nodes and via blood to other distant organs (metastasize).
