Worldwide, cervical cancer is the fourth most common type of cancer in women
Most cervical cancer is caused by a virus called human papillomavirus, or HPV. You can get HPV by having sexual contact with someone who has it.
There are many types of the HPV virus. Not all types of HPV cause cervical cancer. Some of them cause genital warts, but other types may not cause any symptoms. You can have HPV for years and not know it. It stays in your body and can lead to cervical cancer years after you were infected. This is why it is important for you to have regular Pap tests. A Pap test can find
changes in cervical cells before they turn into cancer. If you treat these cell changes, you may prevent cervical cancer; Cancer metastasis that appear in and around the eye are usually from a breast cancer (in women) and lung cancer (in men).
