Cervical Cancer - accents
Worldwide Cervical Cancer is the second most common disease among women between 20 and 45 years of age. Cervical Cancer is an uncontrolled division of injured cells in the cervix.
The cervix is covered with two types of epithelium - a multi-layered flat epithelium and a cylindrical epithelium. Depending on which type of epithelium originates, PMSS is squamous cell carcinoma (affecting the flat epithelium) and adenocarcinoma (developing in the cervix canal).
The main cause of the disease in 95-99,7% of cases is human papillomavirus (HPV).
