By ACA | January 8, 2024

January is Cervical Cancer Awareness Month. Each year, more than 11,000 new cases of cervical cancer are diagnosed in the U.S., according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Dr. Kristina Butler, a Mayo Clinic gynecologic oncologist, explains why preventive screenings are crucial.
