VAX 2 STOP CANCER’s Post

Take charge of your cervical health in 2025! Cervical cancer can often be found early, and sometimes even prevented entirely, by having regular cervical screenings. If detected early, cervical cancer is one of the most successfully treated cancers. • Ages 21-29: Pap smear every 3 years • Ages 30-65: Pap smear and HPV test every 5 years, or Pap smear alone every 3 years • 65+: Ask your healthcare provider about your specific needs Screening can detect changes in cervical cells before they become cancer, making treatment more effective. Don't put off this important preventive care—schedule your screening today. #CervicalHealthMonth

Have you booked your Cervical Cancer screening test yet? Research shows that about 1 in 4 women diagnosed with Cervical Cancer dies from it each year. Signs or symptoms may not show in the early stages, as they often appear after the growth of a tumour. Symptoms include: pain during sex, bleeding after sex, vaginal bleeding between periods, and increased or foul-smelling discharge. It is recommended that ladies 21 years and older should get screened for cervical cancer, every 2 to 3 years. Talk to your doctor today and book your Cervical Cancer screening test, be it a Pap smear or an HPV test! #EmpowHERto #CervicalCancer #CervicalCancerScreening #PapSmear #PapTest #HPV #CervicalCancerAwareness

🎗 Cervical Cancer Awareness Month Cervical cancer is preventable and treatable when detected early. This month, let’s take the opportunity to raise awareness, encourage regular screenings, and promote the HPV vaccine. 💡 Key Facts: Routine Pap smears can save lives. The HPV vaccine significantly reduces the risk of cervical cancer. Together, we can empower women to take charge of their health and create a future free from cervical cancer. Let’s spread the message and inspire action. 💼💙 #CervicalCancerAwareness #Healthcare #PreventionMatters #HPVVaccine #WomensHealth

It's Cervical Screening Awareness Week! Did you know if you are aged 25-64 and have a cervix, screening is for you! 9/10 cervical screening results come back as normal, but it is a vital test that can detect the very common HPV virus and signs of cell changes, to prevent cervical cancer developing. There are some great resources and information also available at eveappeal.org.uk

HPV screening is essential for early detection of high-risk HPV strains that can lead to cervical cancer. It helps identify precancerous changes in cells, enabling timely treatment and reducing cancer risk. Regular screening significantly lowers the incidence and mortality from cervical cancer, making it a crucial public health tool. #cercivalcancer #roche

Throughout this week, we will be posting daily, helpful content in support of Cervical Cancer Prevention Week. 🧐 A common myth is that cervical screening is testing if you have cancer. ➡️ Cervical screening is a way of preventing cervical cancer. It is not a test for cancer. It tests for a virus called human papillomavirus (HPV). High risk HPV can cause cell changes in the cervix, which may develop into cancer over time. But not all cell changes will develop into cancer. So it’s important to monitor any changes and give treatment, if required. #CervicalCancerPrevention #CervicalHealth #CervicalScreening #HPVVaccination #PreventCervicalCancer

The Pap smear test is a really important diagnostic test for cervical abnormalities, precancerous cells and infections, especially cervical cancer, and can also be used for the early detection of endometrial cancer. Early detection of cellular disorders can prevent the development of uterine and cervical cancer, which means that patients can fully recover. Women aged 21 to 29 should have a Pap smear every 3 years, and women aged 30 to 65 should continue with a Pap smear every 3 years, or every 3 years and an HPV test every 5 years, or a Pap smear and HPV test together every 5 years. #CervicalCancerAwarenessMonth

Screening for cervical cancer saves lives and helps find cancer early when it is treatable, so it is essential that women get screened regularly. After reviewing the latest evidence, the #USPSTF recommends women who are 21–29 years old get a Pap test every three years and women who are 30–65 ideally get an HPV test every five years. Alternatively, women ages 30–65 can get a Pap test every three years, or get a combined HPV and Pap test every five years, also known as co-testing.
