Cervical cancer
Cervical cancer is a cancer that affects the cells that line the cervix. Contracting the sexually transmitted disease human papillomavirus (HPV) is necessary for the development of nearly all cases of cervical cancer. Luckily, a vaccine was developed in 2006 that is effective against two strains of HPV that cause 70 percent of cervical cancer diagnosis. The most common symptom of cervical cancer is abnormal vaginal bleeding, but there may not be any obvious symptoms until the cancer is in its advanced stages. The cancer can be treated with surgery in its early stages and chemotherapy in the advanced stages.
