Since it is women's health week (as I just read in your latest post!), the topic of HPV and its link to cervical cancer is especially relevant. Would you consider doing a post on HPV?
Here are a few key facts:
-Cervical cancer is the only cancer with a single-known cause--the human papilloma virus.
-Approx. 80% of women will get one or more types of HPV by age 50.
-The pap alone is not foolproof when it comes to detecting HPV-- it can miss up to half the time.
-When combined with the pap, the HPV Test is virtually 100% accurate in identifying women at risk for cervical cancer.
I'll attach three fact sheets to this e-mail. One is about cervical cancer, one is about the HPV vaccine, and one is about the HPV test.
Here are some relevant links:
-Informative videos and patient success stories:

-A news story on the link between HPV and cervical cancer:

-Cervical cancer information from the CDC: http://www.cdc.gov/cancer/cervical/
-Information about the HPV vaccine: www.cdc.gov/std/Hpv/STDFact-HPV-vaccine.htm
I hope you'll post on this! Let me know if you have any questions!
