Cervical cancer It occurs in the cells of the cervix, which are located at the bottom of the uterus and connected to the vagina. Most cervical cancers are caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV), which is commonly transmitted through sexual contact. When the body is first exposed to HPV, the immune system tries to protect the body from infection with the virus.
