Abstract
Cervical cancer remains one of the most prevalent malignancies among women worldwide, with complex immunomorphological features that influence its progression, diagnosis, and treatment outcomes. This article explores the immunomorphological characteristics of cervical cancer, focusing on the structural and functional changes in tumor cells and the surrounding microenvironment. Special attention is given to the role of immune cells, cytokines, and molecular markers that reflect the immune response and tumor aggressiveness. The interrelationships between these parameters are analyzed to better understand the mechanisms of tumor development, invasion, and metastasis. The findings highlight the significance of immunomorphological assessment in improving diagnostic accuracy, prognostic evaluation, and the selection of effective therapeutic strategies for patients with cervical cancer
