Cervical Cancer

One way to lower the likelihood of developing cervical cancer is to learn all of your risk factors. A risk factor is something that places you at an increased chance of developing a disease. The more risk factors you have for cervical cancer, the greater chance you have at developing it.

As the second most common type of cancer for women worldwide, it's also one of the most treatable and preventable cancers. This is why regular Pap smears and vaginal exams are a necessity, especially if you encounter any of these symptoms.
