Cervical Cancer Stories
Cervical cancer develops in the cells that line the cervix (lower area of the uterus).
There are three main types of cervical cancer:
- Squamous: About 90% of cervical cancers that originate most often in the transformation zone.
- Adenocarcinoma: Make up most other cases, develop from grand cells.
- Adenosquamous: Carcinomas or mixed carcinomas: the least common, a mix of the first two.
