Cervical Cancer-Cause. Cervical cancer is caused by severe abnormal changes in the cells of the cervix. Most precancerous or cancerous cell changes occur in the cervix at the transformation zone, because these cells normally undergo constant change.
Cancer of the cervix is the second most common cause of cancer-related disease and death among women worldwide. Cervical cancer can be diagnosed by having regular Papanicolaou tests, or Pap smears. A Pap smear is essentially a microscopic examination of cells taken from the cervix. It is a painless, noninvasive procedure in which doctors use to screen for pre-cancerous changes of the cervix (neck of the womb).
