#SaludTues Tweetchat 1/4: Raising Awareness for Cervical Cancer

Share On Social!

Each year, more than 14,000 people are diagnosed with cervical cancer in the United States.

This cancer is especially hurting communities of color, with Latinas at a high risk of a diagnosis.

But cervical cancer is preventable.

Stopping cervical cancer for Latinas and all communities means equitable education about the causes, prevention, and treatment of HPV and cervical cancer.
