QUOTE FOR TUESDAY:

“The American Cancer Society’s estimates for cervical cancer in the United States for 2022 are:

1-About 14,100 new cases of invasive cervical cancer will be diagnosed.

2-About 4,280 women will die from cervical cancer.

3-Cervical cancer is most frequently diagnosed in women between the ages of 35 and 44 with the average age at diagnosis being 50 . It rarely develops in women younger than 20. Many older women do not realize that the risk of developing cervical cancer is still present as they age. More than 20% of cases of cervical cancer are found in women over 65. However, these cancers rarely occur in women who have been getting regular tests to screen for cervical cancer before they were 65.”
