Bridging the gap: Reaching the underserved in cervical cancer screening and the vital role of primary care physicians
June 25, 2025
Each year around 13,000 women are diagnosed with cervical cancer and more than 4,000 women die. 50% of all new cervical cancers are in women who have never been screened or have not been screened in the previous 5 years of their lives.1 In this webinar we will discuss:
- Disparities in cervical cancer screening
- Barriers to screening in underserved populations
- Integral role of PCPs
- Innovative approaches to enhance screening uptake
- Community outreach and mobile clinics
- Self-collection methods
