Are you overdue for your annual gynecological exam? Don’t put it off any longer. An estimated 117,000 women in the U.S. will be diagnosed with gynecologic cancer this year, and about 34,000 will die from it.
September is Gynecologic Cancer Awareness Month, focusing on cancers affecting the cervix, ovaries, uterus, vagina, and vulva. We talk about prevention and treatment of these cancers with Dr. Wade Barton, a gynecologic oncologist at the WVU Cancer Institute.
