Si mañana soy yo, mamá, si mañana no vuelvo, destruyelo todo. Si mañana me toca, quiero ser la última.

If it's me tomorrow, if I don't come back tomorrow, mom, destroy everything. If it's my turn tomorrow, I want to be the last.

💜 September is #GynecologicCancerAwarenessMonth

A time to raise awareness, share knowledge, and strengthen the conversation around cervical, ovarian, uterine, vaginal, and vulvar cancers.

Let’s talk, learn, and act together for better prevention, earlier diagnosis, and improved outcomes. 💜

Adding chemotherapy to radiotherapy was not associated with improved overall survival for patients with intermediate-risk cervical cancer. https://t.co/nGzj5EcBBr

[IPVS - International Papillomavirus Society @IPVSociety]

Cervical Cancer treatment studies show no survival advantage of chemoradiotherapy over radiotherapy alone. These results support a more selective approach, reducing unnecessary toxicity for patients with intermediate-risk cervical cancer @JAMAOnc

Ciao caro Prof. Le sarò sempre grata. Mi ha dato luce e coraggio nei momenti più duri. 💜

[ESGO @ESGO_society]

The ESGO Council is extremely saddened to learn of the untimely death of Prof Giovanni Scambia, who was a great influence to and personal friend of many of our members. A moment of silence was held today during the Congress opening ceremony in his honour.

Prof Scambia touched the lives of countless patients, surgeons, fellows and others in the gynae oncology community.

We extend our condolences to his family and the many, many others who are mourning his passing. His memory will live on.

[HPV Cancers Alliance @HPVAlliance]

Today,we honor Dr. King's legacy by recommitting to the fight for health equity!Access to lifesaving HPV vaccines & cervical cancer screenings should never be a privilege,it’s a right.HPV-related cancers disproportionately impact marginalized communities due to systemic barriers

[Martina Chirra, MD @Martina_Chirra]

I am a cervical cancer survivor. I share my story not only to raise awareness but also to empower others to take charge of their health. I want to break down stigma, educate others, and inspire a collective commitment to better prevention and care. #cervicalcancerawarenessmonth

[University of Cincinnati Cancer Center @uofcincycancer]

Cervical cancer is often preventable thanks to vaccines and screenings, yet disparities persist. We’re advancing research to improve detection and outcomes locally and beyond. Stay tuned for research highlights throughout the month.

Being a patient while also being a physician presents a unique perspective filled w/ insights (and challenges).As an oncologist and AYA gyn cancer survivor, I really can say that the effects of treatments on our reproductive health are of unquestionable value

Bid farewell to ABVD!
ABVD regimen had cured thousands of patients of Hodgkin lymphoma over the last five decades across the world.
It will continue to save lives in Low and middle income countries.

Screening exams, regular obgyn visits and listening to our body are the best prevention 💜 #nowomanleftbehind

[World Gynecologic Oncology Day @WorldGOday]

Too often, we notice a change in our bodies but dismiss it—bc it’s uncomfortable to talk openly about certain things or because we (mistakenly) think everyone experiences them. 🩷

Take note of these #cervicalcancer symptoms and discuss them with a dr if they last 2+ weeks.

Hysterectomy or early menopause due to gynecological cancer does not change who you are or how you can define yourself. Your uterus does not define you. Woman. Mother. Wife. Friend. Useful. Worthy. Beautiful 💜
