Overview

Cervical cancer arises within the epithelial cells, making it a carcinoma.

Classification

  • Histologic subtypes of invasive cervical carcinoma include the following:[1][2] Though squamous cell carcinoma is the cervical cancer with the most incidence, the incidence of adenocarcinoma of the cervix has been increasing in recent decades.[3]
Non-carcinoma malignancies which can rarely occur in the cervix include
