Early Detection Can Save Your Life.

 

Both cervical and breast cancers take years to develop and may not cause pain or other symptoms to alert you until it is very advanced. If cervical cancer is discovered in the early stages, it is almost 100% curable. If breast cancer is discovered before it has spread to other parts of your body, the 5-year survival rate is 97% (meaning that 97% of people are still alive five years later). There are two main tests for these cancers: the Pap smear test for cervical cancer and the mammogram for breast cancer.
