"Addressing the Rise of Cervical Cancer: Insights and Prevention Strategies"

Originally Published 1 year ago — by Nature.com

Cervical cancer kills over 300,000 people annually, but can be prevented through vaccination and early diagnosis. The World Health Organization aims to eliminate it by 2030, but faces obstacles such as vaccine hesitancy and lack of funding. Specialists suggest targeting schools for vaccination programs, busting myths through communication campaigns, integrating screening into health-care systems, and using international mentors to train doctors in low- and middle-income countries. Collaboration, funding, and stakeholder cooperation are crucial for successful implementation.

"Positive Trends in Cancer Death Rates Revealed by Recent Studies and Maps"

Originally Published 2 years ago — by Daily Mail

Cancer fatality rates have dropped across all 435 congressional districts of America since the 1990s, with the biggest declines around urban environments where cancer care is more easily accessible and people tend to have more money. Scientists pointed to lower smoking rates and better cancer screening to explain the trends. Lung, colorectal and breast cancer in women and prostate cancer in men saw the sharpest declines. However, disparities in progress against cancer mortality across congressional districts still exist, with overall cancer mortality remaining substantially higher among Black people compared to other populations.
