Throughout the month, Eurofins Central Laboratory, a member of Eurofins BioPharma Services, stands with the American Cancer Society to recognize January as Cervical Cancer Awareness Month. According to the World Health Organization (WHO):

Cervical cancer is the fourth most frequent cancer in women, with an estimated 570,000 new cases in 2018.

Although this number is at a higher rate than we would like, the mortality rate for this type of cancer can be reduced by several preventative measures including early diagnosis, effective screening and treatment programs.

While it remains unclear what the cause is of cervical cancer, most deaths related to the disease can be avoided if found with early intervention;  vaccinations in young girls against human papilloma virus (HPV), cervical treatments, and removal of pre-cancerous lesions or cells.

Eurofins BioPharma Services includes all of the six divisions below to fulfill your clinical trial needs:
