Cervical cancer is one of the most preventable cancers, yet it continues to affect thousands of women in India every year. The tragedy is not just in the numbers but in the fact that most cases can be avoided with awareness, timely screening and early treatment. It develops slowly and often begins with persistent infection of the cervix by the Human Papillomavirus (HPV), a very common virus transmitted through sexual contact. In most women, HPV infections often clear on their own. However, when the infection persists, it can quietly cause abnormal cell changes that may turn cancerous over time if not detected early.
