For the patient, it's the high probability of a cure and treatment that's less disruptive or has fewer long-term effects.

For those with an eye on costs, it's got to be the much lower costs.

This week is cervical cancer prevention week
23rd-29th January 2023
#thankscancer #cervicalcancer #HPVvaccination

Did you know that 1 in 3 women do not take up their cervical screening (smear test) invite?

Stem cell transplants play a key role in the treatment of blood cancers

But unfortunately four of every 10 UK patients looking for an unrelated donor are unable to find a match

Why not consider joining the British stem cell register to become British stem cell donor? Joining is as simple as taking a cheek cell swab. Join here: https://www.dkms.org.uk/get-involved/become-a-donor

See the Blood Cancer UK Twitter video and thread for more information
