Is cervical cancer an estrogen-dependent cancer?

Cervical cancer is not classified as an estrogen-dependent cancer like some breast or endometrial cancers. Instead, its primary cause is persistent infection with high-risk strains of human papillomavirus (HPV). While hormonal factors may influence the progression of cervical cancer, HPV is the main driver of its development. Thus, the relationship between estrogen and cervical cancer is not as direct as it is for other hormone-related cancers.

A carcinogen is a chemical or other product that can cause cancer. There are many different cancers that can affect both humans and animals. Different chemicals of this type cause different cancers to develop.

Where does cervical cancer occur in a female?

Cervical cancer is cancer that starts in the cervix, the lower part of the uterus (womb) that opens at the top of the vagina.Worldwide, cervical cancer is the third most common type of cancer in women. It is much less common in the United States because of the routine use of Pap smears.Cervical cancers start in the cells on the surface of the cervix. There are two types of cells on the cervix's surface: squamous and columnar. Most cervical cancers are from squamous cells.Cervical cancer usually develops very slowly. It starts as a precancerous condition called dysplasia. This precancerous condition can be detected by a Pap smear and is 100% treatable. It can take years for precancerous changes to turn into cervical cancer. Most women who are diagnosed with cervical cancer today have not had regular Pap smears or they have not followed up on abnormal Pap smear results.Almost all cervical cancers are caused by HPV (human papilloma virus). HPV is a common virus that is spread through sexual intercourse. There are many different types of HPV. Some strains lead to cervical cancer. (Other strains may cause genital warts, while others do not cause any problems at all.)A woman's sexual habits and patterns can increase her risk for cervical cancer. Risky sexual practices include having sex at an early age, having multiple sexual partners, and having multiple partners or partners who participate in high-risk sexual activities.Risk factors for cervical cancer include:Not getting the HPV vaccinePoor economic statusWomen whose mothers took the drug DES (diethylstilbestrol) during pregnancy in the early 1960s to prevent miscarriageWeakened immune system

What cervical cells are involved in cervical cancer?

Cervical cancer typically arises from abnormal changes (mutations) in the cells of the cervix, which is the lower part of the uterus (womb) that connects to the vagina. The main type of cells involved in cervical cancer are the squamous cells and the glandular cells. **Squamous cells**: The majority of cervical cancers (about 80% to 90%) are squamous cell carcinomas. These cancers originate from the flat, thin cells that line the outer part of the cervix, known as squamous epithelial cells. **Glandular cells**: Cervical adenocarcinomas develop from glandular cells, which are found in the inner part of the cervix, called the endocervix. These cancers account for a smaller percentage of cervical cancer cases, but their incidence appears to be increasing. In addition to squamous cell carcinomas and adenocarcinomas, there are other less common types of cervical cancers, such as adenosquamous carcinoma and small cell carcinoma, but they are relatively rare compared to squamous cell and adenocarcinoma. Cervical cancer typically develops slowly over time, starting with precancerous changes in the cells of the cervix known as cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) or cervical dysplasia. If left untreated, these abnormal cells may progress to invasive cervical cancer. Regular cervical cancer screening, such as Pap smears and HPV testing, can help detect abnormal changes early and prevent the development of cervical cancer.

Where in the body is the cervix located?

The neck area is the cervical region of the body. But the term "cervix" is also used for other organs that have narrow parts, and "cervical cancer" means "cancer in the cervix of the uterus". "Head and neck cancers" are a group of cancers that occur inside the mouth, nose etc.
