The cervix and uterus are connected. But cervical cancer and uterine cancer are different in their underlying causes, symptom presentation, and the location where cancer cells originate.

Endometriosis occurs when cells similar to the lining of the uterus grow outside of the organ, sometimes causing pain, infertility and heavy menstrual bleeding. Current treatment options are limited.
