We have many options to reduce the risk of cancer from a healthier diet to prevention therapies. The more information we know about individual cancers, the better we can help ourselves and our children.
Community Engagement Centering on Solutions (CECOS) and Richard J. Daley College are offering you an opportunity to learn more about cervical cancer, and its threat to the women of our community. (CECOS is a program of the University of Chicago Cancer Research Center.)
The town hall meeting will include discussion of a new vaccine that is effective in preventing cervical cancer. HPV causes more than 99% of all cervical cancers and 100% of genital warts. The vaccine is effective for the types of viruses that cause 70% of cervical cancers and 90% of genital warts.
Please come to our town hall meeting for invaluable information, lively discussion, and refreshments.
