After hysterectomy, can you still get cervical cancer

Cervical cancer is a

malignant tumor that occurs primarily in the cervical region of the patient due to persistent infection with high-risk HPV types. After total hysterectomy, the uterus disappears and the cervix disappears, so the patient will not get cervical cancer. If the patient has a partial hysterectomy and the cervix remains, the patient may get cervical cancer.

If the cervix still exists after hysterectomy, it should still be screened regularly for cervical cancer, which can not only detect cervical cancer early, but also treat it early.
