Cervical cancer is the uncontrolled overgrowth of cells in the cervix, often due to abnormal cell development after a human papillomavirus (HPV) infection. HPV vaccination, screening, and the early detection and removal of abnormal cervical cells all reduce cervical cancer risk. Treatment can involve surgery, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, targeted therapy, and immunotherapy.
