Cervical cancer deaths higher than thought

2017-01-24 18:29:27.850506+01 by Dan Lyke 0 comments

Cervical cancer is killing women at a higher rate than previously thought (Warning: Auto-play video)

Researchers found that black women in the United States are dying from cervical cancer at a rate 77% higher than previously thought and white women are dying at a rate 47% higher, according to the study published in the journal Cancer on Monday.

HPV causes a lot of cervical cancer, and a whole lot of men have HPV. It ain't the world, but transmission of it is something to think about.
