CDC's Inside Knowledge: Get the Facts About Gynecologic Cancer

CDC, in collaboration with the Department of Health and Human Services' Office on Women's Health, established the Inside Knowledge: Get the Facts About Gynecologic Cancer campaign to raise awareness of the five main types of gynecologic cancer: cervical, ovarian, uterine, vaginal, and vulvar.This national campaign is supported by the Gynecologic Cancer Education and Awareness Act of 2005, or Johanna's Law, which was unanimously passed by the U.S. House and Senate (109th Congress) in December of 2006, and signed into law by President George W. Bush on January 12, 2007. You can find lots of information and statistics on the linked pages. As an advocate for Johanna's Law I am pleased to see such a visible outcome and hope that many women and their doctors will make use of fact sheets, etc .
