Cervical Cancer Screening:
National Council of Women’s Organizations Task Force Launches New Campaign:
Note to Older Women: Ask About Cervical Cancer Screening, Ask About HPV Testing
This year, 11,070 women will be diagnosed with cervical cancer and 3,870 will die of the disease. Women aged 65 and older comprise 20% of all new cervical cancer cases and are 35% more likely to die of the disease versus younger women.
The Women’s Health Task Force of the National Council of Women’s Organizations is launching a new campaign to help older women understand that cervical cancer can affect them and that they may benefit from the same advanced screening technologies as younger women. The Note to Older Women: Ask About Cervical Cancer Screening, Ask About HPV Testing campaign is an online effort that encourages all women to tell the older women in their lives what they need to know.
Visit the Note to Older Women: Ask About Cervical Cancer Screening, Ask About HPV Testing campaign website (http://www.womenshealthtaskforce.org/olderwomen) to learn more and get involved. Here’s what you can do:
1. Send an e-postcard (http://www.womenshealthtaskforce.org/olderwomen/epostcard) to the older women in your lives and to your friends and colleagues so they can share it with the older women in their lives.
2. Post the campaign button (http://www.womenshealthtaskforce.org/olderwomen/get_the_button) on your Facebook or other personal web page so others can learn about the campaign and get involved.
