Shielding Futures: Cervical Cancer Prevention Starts Now! 🌟 Did you know that cervical cancer is the 4th most common cancer among women globally? 🌍 In India, it’s the 2nd most common, with alarming statistics revealing that every 7 minutes, a woman loses her life to this preventable disease. ⏳💔 What’s truly shocking is that despite these numbers, cervical cancer remains one of the most preventable forms of cancer. 🎗️ The HPV vaccine is a game-changer, offering protection against the most common cancer-causing HPV types. 💉 Early detection through regular screening is also crucial, yet many women are unaware of the innovative screening technologies available today. Imagine a world where no woman has to fear cervical cancer. 🌈 Early detection is key, and traditional methods like the Pap smear and HPV DNA tests have been instrumental in identifying precancerous changes and HPV infections, which are the leading causes of cervical cancer. 🩺💖 These tests have saved countless lives by enabling early intervention. But there’s still more to do. Are you aware of any recent advancements or alternative methods in cervical cancer screening? 🤔💡 Let’s come together to share knowledge, increase awareness, and make a difference.

🌸 Cervical Cancer Awareness 🌸 Cervical cancer is one of the most preventable forms of cancer, yet it remains a significant health risk for women globally. By raising awareness and taking proactive steps, we can help reduce its impact. 💙 Why Early Detection Matters: Routine screenings and early detection are vital. Many women diagnosed with cervical cancer had not undergone regular screenings, such as Pap tests or HPV testing, which can detect early signs before they become life-threatening. Early detection significantly improves treatment success, underscoring the importance of awareness. 🌐 Empower Through Knowledge: ->Get Screened: Regular screenings are crucial, even for those feeling healthy. ->Understand HPV: The Human Papillomavirus (HPV) is the primary cause of cervical cancer. Vaccination and safe practices can greatly reduce risk. ->Open Conversations: Encouraging open dialogue on health in our communities and workplaces fosters a supportive environment for awareness. Let’s prioritize preventive care and support one another in raising awareness. Together, we can help reduce cervical cancer risks and work toward healthier futures. 🌸

HPV causes cancers in both males and females. Yet males are often excluded from the conversation surrounding human papillomavirus. There’s a myriad of reasons why they should be vaccinated, not least because they are also at risk of developing an HPV cancer. Factors include: • Simplifies public health messaging✅ • Reduces the circulation of HPV in the population✅ • Makes programmes more resilient✅ • Alleviates the inequity of asking females to shoulder HPV cancers 'alone' ✅ • Accelerates the elimination of cervical, and all HPV cancers.✅ A gender-neutral virus requires a gender-neutral solution. #HPV #endhpv #humanpapillomavirus #cancer #elimination #hpvvaccine #cervicalcancer

In observance of #CervicalCancerAwarenessMonth, we are breaking down three common myths about this health condition. 1) HPV only affects people with multiple partners - Far from the truth, HPV is actually common and has been experienced by people who have only one partner or who have never had partners. 2) You don't have to do pap smears after getting the HPV vaccine - While it is highly recommended that you get the HPV vaccine to prevent cervical cancer, it is also recommended that you keep undergoing screenings even after being vaccinated. 3) Cervical cancer is hereditary - Unlike breast cancer or ovarian cancer, which often develop due to being passed down in families, cervical cancer is not a product of genetics.

Encouraging more people to attend for cervical screening is a critical battle if we are going to win the war against cervical cancer.🔬💙👇 And reducing barriers to HPV screening by enabling women and people with a cervix to self-collect their own sample is key to this. That’s why it’s great news to see the positive results from the HPValidate study, which was set up to evaluate the accuracy and acceptability of self-sampling for HPV in comparison with standard clinician-taken cervical screening tests. The findings of the study contribute to an increasingly positive and growing evidence base on the use of HPV self-sampling in cervical screening. Disease Area Manager for Women's Health Kate Quinney, shared her thoughts with us today from the International Papillomavirus Conference (IPVC 2024): "Whilst more research is needed, these results show that it is crucial that we make cervical screening easier by introducing innovations like self-sampling, alongside the current cervical screening programme. This can only help us to protect more people from this highly preventable cancer." The NHS has made a commitment to eliminate cervical cancer by 2040, which would save thousands of lives every year in England. The introduction of self-sampling to the HPV Screening Programme could help to achieve this. #WomensHealth #Healthcare #HPV #CervicalCancer #HealthcareInnovation #Roche

Cervical cancer is highly preventable. Here are the best three ways to lower your risk. 🌸 Get your HPV vaccination series! It’s very safe, very well-tolerated and highly recommended. 🌸 Get your PAP TEST every three years starting at age 25. It’s quick and easy and done in your doctor’s office. 🌸 An HPV vaginal swab is the latest method of screening in Canada, and it looks for HPV in your cervical cells. I’m super excited about this one!

For Dr. Mary Rose Giattas, eliminating cervical cancer in Tanzania is personal. At the age of 13, Dr. Giattas lost her mother, who was only 42 at the time, to breast cancer. Since then, she has been determined to improve women’s health and ensure that no child loses a parent due to a preventable disease. In Tanzania, cervical cancer is the leading cause of death for women however, it can be prevented through vaccinating young girls against HPV.
