Typically, cervical cancer shows no visible symptoms early on. But, if detected early, it’s one of the most successfully treatable cancers.

Hereditary cancer, or family cancer syndrome, is caused by a genetic defect passed down through a family's genes.

Every year in the U.S., 27,000 people get cancer caused by HPV. That is 1 person every 20 minutes of every day, all year long. Almost all cases of cervical cancer are caused by HPV. The HPV vaccine protects against 6 types of cancer.

There are more than 100 types of cancer, but all involve abnormal cell growth within the body.
