Cervical Cancer

All women are at risk for cervical cancer. However, data show it occurs most often in women over the age of 30. Black and Hispanic women experience higher rates of HPV-associated cervical cancer than non-Hispanic women and women of other races and ethnicities. In 2018, there were an estimated 570,000 new cases of cervical cancer worldwide. The common virus human papillomavirus (HPV) causes almost all cervical cancers. When found early, cervical cancer is highly treatable and associated with long-term quality of life.

Prevention:
- Regular screenings
- HPV vaccination
