Introduction
Each year, about 15,000 women in the United States learn that they have cancer of the cervix. This National Cancer Institute (NCI) booklet (NIH Publication No. 95-2047) will give you some important information about cancer of the cervix and
about some conditions that may lead to this disease. You can read about prevention, symptoms, diagnosis, and
treatment. This booklet also has information to help you deal with cancer of the cervix if it affects you or
someone you know.
Other NCI booklets are listed in the Other Booklets section. Our materials cannot answer every question
you may have about cancer of the cervix. They cannot take the place of talks with doctors, nurses, and other
members of the health care team. We hope our information will help with those talks.
Our knowledge about cancer of the cervix keeps increasing. For up-to-date information or to order this publication, call the
NCI-supported Cancer Information Service (CIS) toll free at 1-800-4-CANCER (1-800-422-6237).
Words that may be new to readers appear in
italics. Definitions of these words and other terms related to
cancer of the cervix can be found in the Dictionary. For some words, a "sounds-like" spelling is also given.
