Cervical Health Awareness Month

The United States Congress designated January as Cervical Health Awareness Month.

Each year, more than 13,200 women are diagnosed with invasive cervical cancer (cancer that has spread from the surface of the cervix to tissue deeper in the cervix or to other body parts) and more than 4,200 die from the disease. Learn more about risk factors, symptoms, prevention, early detection and treatment, and read stories from cervical cancer survivors in our blog.
