"Cervical Cancer: Early Detection Saves Lives" Collaborative Webinar

Monday, January 25, 2021 at 1:00pm ET/ 10:00am PT

============================================

According to the American Cancer Society estimates, in 2020 there were about 13,800 new cases of invasive cervical cancer and about 4,290 women who died from cervical cancer in the US. All women are at risk for cervical cancer and it occurs most often in women over age 30. Screening tests and the HPV vaccine can help prevent cervical cancer. When cervical cancer is found early, it is highly treatable and associated with long survival and good quality of life.

In this webinar, a panel of experts will discuss cervical cancer screening and diagnosis, and the role of patient navigation as a way to help reduce cancer disparities among the medically underserved. In addition, participants will hear about CDC’s National Breast and Cervical Cancer Early Detection Program (NBCCEDP), and how it is being implemented at the community level to provide access to timely cancer screening and diagnostic services.
