Cervical cancer
This type of cancer is located in a woman’s womb, in the opening that connects the uterus with the vagina. This section is called the cervix, and it is the most common location of womb cancer. Cervical cancer is different from many others because it is commonly caused by a papillomavirus, as we mentioned above. Of note, there are certain strains of papillomavirus that will cause cancer and others that will not. Therefore, an infection is not necessarily a diagnosis of cervical cancer.
