A Brief Introduction to Cervical Cancer Cervical cancer is one of the most preventable yet widely occurring cancers among women in India. Despite being highly treatable when detected early, it remains a major health concern due to a lack of awareness, delayed screening, and limited access to diagnostic services. At AK Diagnostics, we believe that empowering women with knowledge and advanced screening solutions can significantly reduce the burden of cervical cancer. What is Cervical Cancer? Cervical cancer develops in the cells of the cervix — the lower part of the uterus that connects to the vagina. Most cases are linked to persistent infection with Human Papillomavirus (HPV) , a common sexually transmitted infection. While HPV is widespread, not all its types cause cancer, and many infections clear up on their own. However, high-risk HPV strains can lead to abnormal cell changes, which, over time, may progress into cervical cancer if left undetected. Key Risk Factors Sev...
