#canbeatcancer by Indian Cancer Society
As we know, cervical cancer is one of the most common types of cancer in women, but a lot of us are unaware of the right measures that can be adopted to prevent cervical cancer. The good news is that there are just two simple and effective strategies that can help us reduce the risk of developing cervical cancer: vaccination and lifestyle.
In today's episode, we will look at yet another facet of cervical cancer that affects individual and collective lives—HIV/AIDS. According to the World Health Organisation, India has the third-highest number of HIV/AIDS cases in the world, with an estimated 2.1 million people living with the virus. This is particularly concerning, as research has proven that HIV-positive women are at a higher risk of developing cervical cancer.
Today, we’ll understand why we need to advocate for better access to screening and treatment in rural and underserved areas.
Today, let’s take a deeper dive into the possible treatment options available to someone with cervical cancer.
Today, I will guide you through a more grim, yet more crucial topic—what should one do if diagnosed with cervical cancer? Beyond thediagnosis, treatment, and aftermath of the disease, it is important for individuals to prepare for the emotional and social upheaval it can bring into a person’s life.
This week, I’d like to debunk some myths and misconceptions surrounding cervical cancer. As George Bernard Shaw says, “Beware of false knowledge; it is more dangerous than ignorance.”
Today, I will help you understand the true scale of Cervical Cancer, and also arm you with precise information about how to test for it and taking preventive measures.
