Cancer occurring in the cervix region of the female reproductive system is called as cervical cancer. Cervix is located just below the uterus and is the region that connects the uterus to the vagina.
Most reported cases of cervical cancer have been known to be caused by a virus called the human papillomavirus (HPV) virus.
