Cervical Cancer

Cervical cancer occurs when abnormal cell growth begins in the cervix. Cervical cancer usually has no symptoms at the early stages, and symptoms usually begin at the advanced stages. However, even early stages can be detected using medical imaging. Cervical cancer will metastasize to other parts of the body at advanced stages.
