Cervical cancer: ...Is a malignancy that originates in the lower tip of the uterus (cervix). It is usually caused by infections by human papilloma virus and smoking (also relates to hiv). It is highly preventable and/or curable by doing this: not smoking, practicing safe sex, getting regular pap smears, and immunizing young girls with the hpv vaccine.
