Cervical cancer is caused by mutations in the cells of your cervix. Researchers can't yet pinpoint the precise cause of cervical cancer, but they believe certain strains of the human papillomavirus (HPV) contribute to the development of cancerous cells in the cervix.

So, more research is being conducted to try and establish why some women with HPV develop this type of cancer and others don't.

The thyroid gland is located in the human neck. Its primary function is to produce triiodothyronine (T3) and thyroxine (T4) hormones. The hormones control body metabolism by regulating the speed at which cells work. When the thyroid produces hormones in low quantities, the hypothalamus stimulates the pituitary gland to produce thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) that increases hormone production in the thyroid. If the thyroid gland produces a lot of hormones, the hypothalamus stimulates the pituitary gland to halt production of TSH which in return slows down hormone secretion at the thyroid gland.
