Today is Human Papilloma Virus -HPV Awareness Day. The papilloma virus is considered to be the main cause of cervical cancer in women, and also as a major cause of other types of cancer in men and women: rectal cancer, oral and pharyngeal cancer, and genital cancer.
At the L.E.M laboratory, the team of the cytology department (pictured) perform hundreds of thousands of tests every year for the early detection of cervical cancer - by identifying the presence of the dangerous strains of HPV.
A recently published survey shows that due to the ongoing war situation in Israel, women do not perform routine and non-urgent tests. It is important to emphasize that tests for the early detection of cancer are not permitted but mandatory and can prevent serious diseases, including cervical cancer. An examination for the early detection of the cervix is a regular examination at the gynecologists, it is short and simple and can save lives. Don't give up on it. especially now.
