Cervical Cancer: A Preventable Disease
Cervical cancer is considered one of the most preventable forms of cancer with routine screening and early detection of human papillomavirus (HPV), which causes 90% of cases. In fact, around 60% of all cervical cancers occur in people who are under-screened or unscreened due to various barriers to care.
Benefits of At-Home HPV Testing
At-home self-collection methods for HPV testing can reduce barriers to care and potentially save lives. By making screening more accessible, clinicians have better information to identify risks earlier and intervene sooner. This allows us to focus on prevention, follow-up care, and treatment for those who need it.
