REVIEW OF SYSTEM
A little more than an inch long, the cervix is the narrow end of the uterus that opens into the upper part of the vagina. In pregnancy, the cervix helps hold the uterus closed. Several weeks prior to labor and childbirth, the cervix thins and begins to expand, or dilate. At delivery, the cervix opens completely to allow the movement of the baby through the birth canal.
The bulk of the cervix, or stroma, is formed by connective tissue. This is covered by a surface layer called the epithelium. The epithelium is made up of two different types of cells. The epithelium of the endocervical canal (the inner surface of the cervix) is comprised of tall glandular cells that produce cervical mucus.
The epithelium on the outer aspect of the cervix that can be seen at the top of the vaginal canal (the ectocervix) is formed by layers of flat, disc-like cells called squamous cells. The area where the squamous cells meet the glandular cells is called the transformation zone. The transformation zone is the area that is most susceptible to the changes that can lead to cancer. Cancer that resembles the squamous cells is called squamous cell
That that resembles the glandular cells is called adenocarcinoma. Of all invasive (invading neighboring tissue) cervical cancers that are diagnosed, roughly 80-90 percent are squamous cell carcinomas and most of the remaining are adenocarcinomas.
Several types of adenocarcinomas exist. Around 60% are endocervical adenocarcinomas, about 20% are adenosquamous (contain squamous-like elements), about 10% are endometrioid (resemble the cells that line the uterus), and about 10% are clear cell.
Other, more rare cancers of the cervix include cervical sarcoma, neuroendocrine tumors, cervical melanoma, adenoid carcinomas, and glassy cell carcinoma
