Cervical Cancer and What it Means for Women's Health | Dr.Ambar Riaz

#Cervical_cance #cancer #women_health Cervical cancer is a type of cancer that occurs in the cells of the cervix — the lower part of the uterus that connects to the vagina. Various strains of the human papillomavirus (HPV), a sexually transmitted infection, play a role in causing most cervical cancer.
