The cervix is the narrow, lower part of the uterus. It is the passageway from the uterus to the vaginal canal. Cervical cancer begins on the surface of the cervix and tends to grow slowly. It is caused by several types of the human papillomavirus (HPV), which are typically spread by sexual contact. Cervical carcinoma in situ (CIS) is also referred to as stage 0 cervical cancer. It is noninvasive, which means the cancerous cells are confined to the surface of your cervix and have not infiltrated more deeply into your tissues.
