Correct Answer » C Explanation

Carcinoma in situ (CIS), also known as in situ neoplasm, is a group of abnormal cells.

Carcinoma in situ (CIS) is a general term for an early stage cancer. Cervical carcinoma in situ is also referred to as stage 0 cervical cancer. It’s noninvasive, which means the cancerous cells are confined to the surface of your cervix and haven’t penetrated more deeply into the tissues.

The cervix is the narrow, lower part of the uterus. It’s the passageway from the uterus to the vaginal canal. Cervical cancer begins on the surface of the cervix and tends to grow slowly. It’s caused by several different strains of the human papillomavirus virus (HPV), which are spread by sexual contact.
