The discomfort of gynecological exams, the stigma of sexuality, the lack of access to healthcare, all lead to a neglect of cervical cancer detection and treatment. Yet cervical cancer is the second most common cancer in Indian women.
Columbia Global Centers | Mumbai and the Herbert Irving Comprehensive Cancer Center invite you to join our panel of experts on a critical discussion around the importance of cervical cancer screening and preventive vaccination. Our distinguished speakers will share the status and need for early detection and preventive measures, and deliberate upon the social and medical barriers in implementing cervical cancer screening and HPV vaccines in India and the world.
