A member asked:

Is there any links between cervical cancer and breast cancer?

3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

Ovarian cancer: And breast cancer are related in that certain genetic defects make a person more susceptible to develop both. No such correlation with cervical cancer. Causes of malignancy are multifactorial, and we are just beginning to understand them.
