IPS Reports On Research Study Examining Knowledge, Beliefs Of Cervical Cancer Among Argentinian Women
Inter Press Service reports on a research study conducted in Argentina that "explored women's knowledge and beliefs about cervical cancer, in the provinces with the highest mortality from this highly preventable form of cancer, to design more effective policies." The news service writes, "Although there are now effective tools to prevent cervical cancer, and vaccination against human papillomavirus (HPV) is free and mandatory for 11-year-old girls, the death rate from cervical cancer is not declining in Argentina, and the geographical distribution of the burden is extremely unequal."
