The most important cause of cervical cancer is HPV infection, and others include smoking, early sex, multiple pregnancies and births, and abnormal immune function.
Cervical cancer is a malignant tumor with the primary lesion located in the cervix of the uterus and is the most common tumor of the female reproductive tract. The main cause of the disease is human papillomavirus (HPV) infection, especially high-risk types, the two most common being HPV 16 and 18, and others such as 31, 33, 35, 39, 41, 45, 51, 52, and 58.
The combination of these persistent HPV infections and triggers such as smoking, early sex, multiple pregnancies and births, and abnormal immune function leads to cervical cancer.
Cervical cancer can now be prevented by vaccination, and regular checkups can also play a preventive role.
