| Cervical cancer arises in different cell types of the cervix, and understanding its subtypes is crucial for diagnosis and treatment. The most common type is squamous cell carcinoma, accounting for around 70–90% of cases. The second major form is adenocarcinoma, which originates in the glandular cells of the endocervix. Adenosquamous carcinoma features a mix of both squamous and glandular cancer cells. Rarer but aggressive types include neuroendocrine carcinomas (such as small-cell and large-cell), clear-cell adenocarcinoma, glassy cell carcinoma, and sarcomas. Proper tissue typing guides personalized therapy. |
