Breast Cancer, Cervical Cancer, and HPV Vaccine
UPMC Cancer Center is dedicated to the diagnosis and treatment of women afflicted with cancer, specifically breast cancer and gynecologic cancer. UPMC is recognized as a leading health system for cancer care in the United States.
Breast Cancer
About one in eight women born today in the United States will get breast cancer at some point in their lives. The good news is that many women can survive breast cancer if it's found and treated early.
Cervical Cancer
Cervical cancer is the easiest gynecologic cancer to prevent, with regular screening tests and follow-up.
Nearly all cervical cancers are caused by HPV, a common sexually transmitted infection. That's why it's so important to get tested.
