Safety Tidbits- January is Cervical Cancer Awareness Month
Cervical Cancer Awareness Month – Cervical cancer was once a leading cause of cancer death for women in the United States. Currently, it ranks 3rd in frequency for both diagnosis and cause of death among the gynecologic cancers and 14th for all cancers affecting U.S. women. Between 1955 and 1992, both incidence and mortality rates declined dramatically due to the introduction and implementation of Pap test screening. Most invasive cervical cancers are found in women who have never been screened or have not had a Pap test within the past 5 years. Based on figures from 2008-2010 the lifetime risk of developing cervical cancer among
U.S. women is approximately 1 in 151. Click Here for the full copy of this week’s Safety Tidbits which contains more important information on this health topic.
