Risk Factors
Your Cervical Cancer Risk Tool
Click the Cervical Cancer Risk Calculator Tool * from The Siteman Cancer Center to help determine what may affect your chances of being diagnosed with cervical cancer and what you can do to reduce your risk.
Most cervical cancer risk factors do not directly cause cancer. Some people with risk factors never develop cancer, while others with no known risk factors do. Knowing your risk factors and talking about them with your health professional may help you make more informed lifestyle and healthcare choices.
