Cervical Adenocarcinoma

Definition

Cervical adenocarcinoma is a type of cervical cancer that originates in the glandular cells lining the cervix, which is the lower part of the uterus connecting to the vagina. This cancer can develop due to various factors, including human papillomavirus (HPV) infection, and may present with symptoms such as abnormal vaginal bleeding, pelvic pain, or pain during intercourse.
