The facts
- Every day in the UK 9 women are diagnosed with cervical cancer
- 3 women lose their lives from the disease every day
- Cervical cancer is the most common cancer in women aged 35
- 75% of cervical cancers are prevented by cervical screening (smear tests)
- However 1 in 4 women do not attend this potentially life-saving test
Our research
Almost half a million young women aged 25-29 did not attend cervical screening last year, this Cervical Cancer Prevention Week aims to change this.
