Cervical cancer begins with abnormal changes in the healthy cells that line a woman’s cervix, the lower part of the uterus. If left untreated, the abnormal cells may begin to grow uncontrollably, bind together and form cancerous tumors. 

Choosing a Cervical Cancer Specialist in Florida

More than 14,000 cervical cancer cases will be diagnosed this year. Early detection is very important. The earlier cervical cancer is diagnosed, the more it improves the chances of successful treatment and improved quality of life. For those reasons, choosing the right provider is critical.
