During the month of January, we raise awareness to Cervical Health. Cervical Cancer is one of the most common causes of cancer-related death in women in America. It is estimated that in 2016, nearly 13,000 women will be diagnosed and about 30% of those diagnosed will succumb to the disease. Typically, cervical cancer can occur in middle-aged women. But that does not mean that senior women are not still at risk. Senior women account for 20 percent of cervical cancer diagnoses.
