Vol. 210 | Featured: Everything You Need to Know About Cervical Cancer ๐Ÿ‘ฉ๐Ÿพโš•๏ธ


โ€‹

Cervical cancer remains a significant health concern, with Black women facing disproportionately higher rates of diagnosis and mortality compared to other racial groups. These disparities often result from limited access to preventative care, such as Pap smears and HPV vaccinations, as well as delayed diagnosis.

Understanding the risk factors and symptoms of cervical cancer is important in empowering Black women to advocate for their health. This week's featured article offers information about cervical cancer prevention, diagnosis, and treatment, encouraging proactive measures to reduce disparities and save lives.
