A member asked:

What is the first stage of cervical cancer?

4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

Carcinoma in situ: Infection of the cervix by the human papilloma virus (hpv) is associated with precancerous lesions and cancer. Some people confuse precancerous lesions (dysplasia) with actual cancer. It is important to know that regular pap tests will detect precancerous cells that can be monitored or treated. Condoms do not fully protect against hpv but there are vaccines to help prevent cervical and hpv cancer.

CZiNI: But the hpv vaccine only covers the top 4 most prevalent ant virulent strains. You still can get cervical cancer with unprotected sex.
