We know the statistics<\/span>: One woman is diagnosed with breast cancer every two minutes in the US. This makes it the most common cancer in American women. When caught early, the survival rate is up to 99%. Screening is done through a breast exam and mammogram.<\/p>\n\n\n\nCervical cancer is the 4th common cancer in women. Screening is done with a test called a pap smear. This is a collection of cells from the cervix. Screening is done every 3-5 years and starts at age 21. The most common cause of cervical cancer is the virus called HPV. Best news yet, there is a vaccine that can help prevent HPV, which helps decrease cervical cancer. And, we have it available in the clinic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
