What to Know About Cervical & Other Gynecologic Cancers
Show: CancerCast
Cervical cancer is the fourth most common form of women's cancer worldwide. While cervical cancer used to be the most common cause of cancer death for women, advances in testing and prevention – from the pap smear to the HPV vaccine – now makes it one of the most preventable forms of cancer. With all gynecologic cancers, regular check-ups are key to early diagnosis and treatment.

Host: John Leonard, MD, world-renowned hematologist and medical oncologist at Weill Cornell Medicine and NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital.
