Cervical precancer and cancer
Cervical cancer is a preventable by means of screening and vaccination. We still have a long road ahead in Curacao to get our cervical cancer incidence to the level of developed countries, but it is for sure possible. We will cover shortly in the presentation our national screening program and the recently started HPV vaccination program at our schools and also about cervical cancer treatment and diagnosis. In depth discussion about the management, treatment and follow-up of cervical precancer will provide valuable insights.
