Cervical Cancer Prevention Week - 22nd to 28th January 2024

 According to Jo’s Cervical Cancer Trust, every day in the UK nine women are diagnosed with cervical cancer and two lose their lives to it.  Nearly all cases are caused by an infection with certain types of human papillomavirus (HPV). There are tools available to help prevent cervical cancer, such as cervical screening and the HPV vaccination.  However – there is still more to be done - which is why Jo’s Trust continue with their annual campaign, Cervical Cancer Prevention Week, in order to raise awareness of these tools and to tackle inequalities in cancer prevention.
