Every year, 500,000 new cases of cervical cancer are diagnosed worldwide—a shocking statistic that includes many cases even among those vaccinated. While the HPV vaccine is an important tool in preventing the most common cancer-causing strains, it doesn’t protect against all high-risk variants. This highlights the critical need for ongoing prevention efforts. Vaccination is vital, but F420 screening and advanced prevention strategies are equally essential to fight this disease. Together, we can build a future where cervical cancer could be a thing of the past. 💙 F420.ai #CervicalCancer #HPVPrevention #HealthAwareness #FightCervicalCancer #PreventionMatters
