The cervix is the part of the uterus connected to the upper vagina. It is what dilates during childbirth so the baby can travel to the birth canal.

There are two major types of cancer that develop from the cervix. Squamous cell cancers arise from the squamous epithelium that covers the visible part of the cervix. Adenocarcinomas arise from the glandular lining of the endocervical canal. Approximately 80% of cervical cancers are squamous cell cancers and the remainder adenocarcinomas. Most of these cancers are related to human Papilloma virus (HPV).
