JANUARY is CERVICAL HEALTH AWARENESS Month
The American Cancer Society's estimates for cervical cancer in the United States for 2022 are:
- About 14,100 new cases of invasive cervical cancer will be diagnosed.
- About 4,280 women will die from cervical cancer.
- Cervical pre-cancers are diagnosed far more often than invasive cervical cancer.
- Cervical cancer was once one of the most common causes of cancer death for American women.
- The cervical cancer death rate dropped significantly with the increased use of the Pap test.
Cervical Cancer can be prevented!
The two most important things you can do to prevent cervical cancer are to get the HPV vaccine if you are eligible, and to be tested regularly according to American Cancer Society (ACS) guidelines.
