    Cervical cancer develops through pre-invasive and invasive stages. The main risk factors are HPV infection, early sexual activity, multiple partners, and smoking. Pre-invasive dysplasia can progress to carcinoma in situ or invade nearby tissues, most commonly spreading via lymph nodes to the liver, lungs, and bones. Signs and symptoms vary depending on the areas affected but may include abnormal bleeding or discharge, pelvic or abdominal pain, and changes to menstruation.
