Cervical Cancer in South Carolina
December 9, 2009
University of South Carolina public-health researchers will discuss the
impact of cervical cancer in South Carolina at a media availability at
10:30 a.m. Thursday, Dec. 10.
The impact, along with solutions through research and community
screening programs, is part of a comprehensive report that will be
reviewed by Drs. Saundra Glover and Heather Brandt, researchers at the
Arnold School of Public Health. The report also addresses the racial
disparities in cervical-cancer deaths among African-American and white
women, community programs for Hispanic women, the role of the human
papillomavirus (HPV) in cervical cancer and access to care for
low-income women.
The media availability will take place in the fourth-floor conference
room of the Public Health Research Center, 921 Assembly St.
The Arnold School report is timely, given recent controversy over new
guidelines for cervical-cancer screening that were released last month
by the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists.
For information or to arrange coverage, call Karen Petit at
803-777-5400.
