Cervical Cancer

<p>Cervical cancer was once one of the most common cancers in women, but better <a href="/health/cervical-cancer/how-can-prevent-cervical-cancer">screening</a> for pre-cancerous conditions prevents many cases today. Most cases of cervical cancer originate with HPV, the human papilloma virus, which is <a href="/health/hpv/how-hpv-virus-contracted">transmitted sexually.</a> Today, with <a href="/health/hpv/should-vaccinated-protect-hpv">vaccines</a> available to protect against HPV, prevention is even more effective.</p>
