On 17th November, the World Health Organisation launches its global campaign to eliminate cervical cancer.
“Cervical cancer is a preventable and curable disease, as long as it is detected early and managed effectively. Yet it is the fourth most common form of cancer among women worldwide, and the most common cancer among women living with HIV, who are six times as likely to develop cervical cancer. “
Here at the Christie School of Oncology, our GatewayC Team work hard on developing education to detect the early signs of cancer. You can see some of their work here on the NICE website:
