Abstract
The molecular and cell biology of cervical cancer will be covered in detail in this chapter, particularly emphasizing the disease’s etiology, brief epidemiology, risk factors, cervical cancer hallmarks, and the main signaling pathways involved. The chapter will go in-depth about the characteristics of cancer, such as changes in cell cycle regulation, apoptosis, and cell differentiation, as well as the tumoral microenvironment. Signal pathways like the PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway and the Wnt/beta-catenin pathway will be highlighted for their significance in the development of cervical cancer. The chapter will thoroughly explain the molecular and cell biology underlying this terrible illness.
