๐Overview
This condition most often results from a persistent infection with high-risk types of the human papillomavirus (HPV). When the virus remains in the cervical cells for an extended period, it can trigger genetic changes that cause the cells to grow uncontrollably and form a mass.
The development of this malignancy is generally slow, often taking years for abnormal cellular changes to progress into a tumor. Clinical observation focuses on the relationship between viral persistence and the transformation of the cervical lining.
