Month
January
is Cervical Cancer Awareness Month, a great time to talk about how human papillomavirus (HPV)
vaccines can help prevent cancer
National Cervical
Cancer Awareness Month was first recognized in 2002 and is observed
every January. It was introduced in 1999 as a House Concurrent Resolution by
Rep. Juanita Millender-McDonald (D-Calif.)
Cervical cancer was once the leading cause of cancer death
for women in
the United States.
January is Cervical Awareness Month. Represented by the color teal,
the nation-wide initiative aims to increase awareness about cervical cancer,
HPV, and the importance of early detection.
·
Early-detection is key for prevention and treatment of
cervical cancer. “Cervical cancer is one of the easiest gynecological cancers to prevent
with regular screening tests”
·
There are two screening tests proven effective to detect
cervical cancer early.
·
The first is a Pap test. With this test, cells are
collected and sent to a laboratory to look for any abnormalities. “We recommend
young women begin screening with this test at the age of 21
·
The second test screens for Human Papilloma Virus, or
HPV. “The human papilloma virus (HPV) is the leading cause of cervical cancer
·
“The Pap and HPV tests can be combined for early
detection. If both of these tests are normal, no further testing is necessary
again for another five years.”
Get involved in the Cervical Cancer Awareness campaign
by wearing the teal ribbon, distributing handouts and flyers within your
community, attending fundraiser event, sharing information about cervical
cancer and HPV on social media, and visiting your medical provider for
screening tests and vaccinations.
