Empowering women: the importance of cervical cancer awareness and early detection

Each year, more than 3,200 women are diagnosed with cervical cancer in the UK. This type of cancer can affect people at any age with over 800 losing their lives to the disease. The primary cause of cervical cancer is the human papillomavirus (HPV), which is preventable through vaccination. Early detection through regular cervical screenings, commonly known as smear tests, can significantly reduce the incidence and mortality rates associated with this cancer.
