Cervical cancer forms in the interior lining of the cervix, the junction of the vagina and uterus. The development of cervical cancer is typically slow, and occurs over a period of years. The progression to cervical cancer begins with the development of precancerous changes in normal cells. Most of these changes, even if left untreated, will not progress to cancer. However, in 2018 the American Cancer Society estimates 13,240 women will be diagnosed with invasive cervical cancer and 4,170 will die of the disease in the United States.
