Understanding Breast Cancer
Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women, aside from skin cancer. In their lifetime, 1 in 8 women, or about 13%, will receive a breast cancer diagnosis, with women younger than 45 accounting for around 9% of new cases. Black women are 40% more likely to die from breast cancer than white women.

Understanding Cervical Cancer
Cervical cancer is most often found in women between the ages of 35 and 44, and about 1 in 123 women will develop cervical cancer in their lifetime. Black and Hispanic women have higher rates of cervical cancer than white women.
Regular Pap smears can find changes in the cervix early, making them easier to treat and manage before they become cancer. The human papillomavirus (HPV) causes nearly all cervical cancers, and the HPV vaccine can prevent most cases.
