Abstract: The uterus is an organ which nurtures the embryo,fetus and produces menstruation. At the same time,it is
also an organ which is likely to suffer from malignant tumor. Each part of the uterus including cervix,corpus uteri, endometrium,myometrium is prone to malignant tumor. Cervical cancer is the most common gynecological malignancies. Persistent infection of high risk papillomavirus is the main reason of precancerous and cervical cancer. The main pathological type was squamous cell carcinoma and adenocarcinoma. Definite diagnosis can depend on cervix biopsy and histopathology. We can judge the severity from the FIGO clinical staging. The treatment of early stage cervical cancer is surgery,while in treatment of the middle and advanced stage cervical cancer,radiaotherapy is the core and chemotherapy is the complement. Nowadays targeted therapy provides a new approach to local advanced, recurrent and metastasis cervical cancer. HPV vaccine has been used to prevent the cervical cancer now.
