January is Cervical Cancer Awareness Month

January is Cervical Cancer Awareness Month, a great time to talk about how human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccines can help prevent cancer

National Cervical Cancer Awareness Month was first recognized in 2002 and is observed every January. It was introduced in 1999 as a House Concurrent Resolution by Rep. Juanita Millender-McDonald (D-Calif.)

Cervical cancer was once the leading cause of cancer death for women in the United States.

Significance

January is Cervical Awareness Month. Represented by the color teal, the nation-wide initiative aims to increase awareness about cervical cancer, HPV, and the importance of early detection.

• Early-detection is key for prevention and treatment of cervical cancer. “Cervical cancer is one of the easiest gynecological cancers to prevent with regular screening tests”
• There are two screening tests proven effective to detect cervical cancer early.
• The first is a Pap test. With this test, cells are collected and sent to a laboratory to look for any abnormalities. “We recommend young women begin screening with this test at the age of 21
• The second test screens for Human Papilloma Virus, or HPV. “The human papilloma virus (HPV) is the leading cause of cervical cancer
• “The Pap and HPV tests can be combined for early detection. If both of these tests are normal, no further testing is necessary again for another five years.”

Get involved in the Cervical Cancer Awareness campaign by wearing the teal ribbon, distributing handouts and flyers within your community, attending fundraiser event, sharing information about cervical cancer and HPV on social media, and visiting your medical provider for screening tests and vaccinations.
