- Would you give that to your daughter? Before you say yes/no did your do research properly? Here's a bit for you:
- Between 1955 and 1992, the number of cervical cancer deaths in the United States dropped by 74% . The number of cases diagnosed each year and the number of deaths per year have continued to drop, even though the population is growing.
- From 1997 to 2003, the number of cervical cancers in the U.S. dropped by 4.5% each year, while the number of deaths dropped by 3.8% each year. This, while many other cancers are on the rise.Cervical cancer has gone from being one of the top killers of American women to not even being on the top 10 list. This year cervical cancer will represent just 1% of the 679,510 new cancer cases and 1% of the 273,560 anticipated cancer deaths among American women. By contrast, some 40,970 women will die of breast cancer & 72,130 will die of lung cancer.
