Abstract

Cervical erosion, a condition characterized by the displacement of columnar epithelium onto the ectocervix, has long been observed in clinical practice, yet its association with cervical cancer risk remains understudied. This article investigates the mechanisms linking cervical erosion to an increased susceptibility to cervical cancer, focusing on its interaction with human papillomavirus (HPV) infection, inflammation, and cellular instability. It also explores recent diagnostic advances that enhance the identification and monitoring of cervical erosion as a potential risk factor. Through a review of histopathological, molecular, and imaging data, the article elucidates how erosion may predispose the cervix to oncogenic transformation. The findings suggest that while cervical erosion itself is benign, its chronic presence amplifies vulnerability to HPV persistence and malignancy, necessitating improved diagnostic tools and clinical awareness to mitigate cancer risk.
