Cervical cancer is a malignant neoplasm of the cervix uteri or cervical area. In 2021, the cervical cancer age adjusted incidence rate in Florida was 9.0 per 100,000 population. While cervical cancer can be detected early, and even prevented, through regular screenings, some cases are diagnosed at an advanced stage. Advanced stage cervical cancer is cancer that has spread to lymph nodes outside the cervix or to other organs. In 2021, in Florida, 53.9% of Cervical Cancer Cases were at Advanced Stage When Diagnosed.
January is Cervical Cancer Awareness month. The U.S. Preventative Services Task Force (USPSTF) recommends screening for cervical cancer every 3 years for most women. Pap smear screening can identify potentially precancerous changes in the cervix. In 2022, 34.4% of women reported that they received a cervical cancer screening in the past year, and 65.9% reported they received a cervical cancer screening in the past 5 years.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) defines mental health as our emotional, psychological and social well-being.
