Cervical Cancer – The stages

Extracted and compiled from HealthToday
Previously upon the introduction of cervical cancer, we learn exactly where the growth is. In this post, we get to learn more about what stages of cervical cancers we have, which are either micro-invasive or invasive.
Micro-invasive cervical cancer
This is when cancer cells have just broken through the bottom layer of the skin of the cervix. At this stage, the cells have not spread more into the tissue of the cervix.
Invasive cervical cancer
This is when cancer cells have spread from the cervix’s surface skin into its deeper tissues. The cancer may have also spread to part of the vaginal or the lymph glands and other tissues surrounding the cervix, within the pelvis, or beyond the genital and pelvic areas into nearby organs.
The next post I will be writing who and the causes of cervical cancer, including the risk factors on such potential malicious disease.
