Cervical Cancer Awareness Week is currently underway across Canada.
It’s a week to help raise awareness about the disease and prevention along with early detection and treatment.
Jen Belcher, Vice President of Strategic Initiatives with the Ontario Pharmacists Association talks about the importance of early detection.
Belcher talks about when you should get screened.
She tells us how everyone can help each other get the correct information to promote good education on the disease.
Experts recommend that anyone who’s been sexually active begin regular Pap tests by age 21 as part of ongoing screening.
