Cancer and Women
Every year, cancer claims the lives of more than a quarter of a million women in America. A woman can reduce her cancer risk by adopting a healthy lifestyle and getting the right cancer screening tests for her stage of life.
In 2006, the most recent year for which statistics are available, more than 660,000 women in the United States were told they had cancer, and nearly 270,000 died from it. Screening tests and the HPV vaccine can help prevent some of the most common types of cancer in women.
