Uterine cancer, also known as cervical cancer, is a condition that affects the cells of the female reproductive organ. This type of cancer generally develops from the epithelial cells of the cervix, an essential part of the reproductive system. The precise origin of this cancer is often associated with genetic changes or persistent infection with high-risk strains of the human papillomavirus (HPV).

The term uterine cancer can refer to any of several types of cancer that occur in the uterus, including uterine sarcomas, endometrial cancer, cervical cancer and gestational trophoblastic disease. They are linked to neoplastic processes originating in the tissues of a pregnancy, which are often located in the uterus.
