Cervical Cancer Awareness Week takes place October 3rd to the 8th.

Cervical cancer is almost always preventable. Regular cervical screening can find abnormal cells that could become cancer (called pre-cancers). Finding pre-cancers and treating them can help prevent cervical cancer.

Cervical screening should be done every 3 years if you have a cervix, have ever been sexually active, and are between the ages of 25 to 70 years.
