Cervical cancer forms in the tissues of the cervix, the organ that connects the uterus and vagina. Cervical cancer growth often has no symptoms; however, it can be detected with a Pap test. The American Cancer Society estimates that more than 13,960 new cases of cervical cancer will be diagnosed in the United States in 2023.
