Your Health: Cervical and Ovarian Cancer

By: Jeffrey Campbell

Updated: September 14, 2012

During today's interview with Dr. Randall Hightower, we discussed the following questions:

1.     What is the incidence and number of deaths attributable to cervical and ovarian cancer?

2.     What are the presenting symptoms of each cancer and can each be detected at an early stage?

3.     Is the treatment for each cancer successful and what does it depend on?

4.     What is the role of the pap smear for cervical cancer and CA-125 blood test for ovarian cancer?
