Most of these cancers stem from infection with the human papillomavirus (HPV), although other host factors affect neoplastic progression following initial infection. Compared with other gynecologic malignancies, cervical cancer develops in a relatively younger population. Thus, screening for this neoplasia typically begins in young adulthood.
