Cervical Cancer

Cervical cancer rates in women offered the HPV vaccine between the ages of 12 and 13 were 87% lower than in an unvaccinated population.

A woman has died after being 'incorrectly excluded' from the cervical cancer screening programme, a Scottish government minister has revealed.

Many women don't come forward for the test due the 'embarrassment factor' and the problem has been exasperated by the pandemic.
