O2 Media's ‘The Balancing Act’ premiere women’s morning show brings to viewers the ‘Hear Us Roar Healthy Living Corner’ series in partnership with Women Magazine, published by Omni Health Media.  

According to CancerConnect.com, more than 11-thousand women are diagnosed with cervical cancer each year in the United States alone.  Close to 4 thousand of those women die of the disease annually. Worldwide an estimated 310 thousand women die of cervical cancer each year and in some developing nations, cervical cancer is the leading cause of death among women—the leading cause of death.  But there is something that can be done about this!  Joining the show is Dr. Jennifer Smith, Associate Professor of Research in the Department of Epidemiology at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill.  She will help to educate viewers on signs, symptoms, and the latest research and treatments for cervical cancer.  Make sure to tune in to ‘The Balancing Act’ September 5th at 7:00am (ET/PT) as they air on Lifetime Television.

Dr. Smith says, “Appearing on ‘The Balancing Act’ is a great opportunity to help educate as well as provide viewers with helpful advice and information regarding cervical cancer.”

One of the known causes of cervical cancer is a virus—HPV (Human Papiloma Virus).  Dr. Smith discusses with viewers the different types of HPV and how someone might be exposed to HPV or contract HPV.  She’ll also talk about a HPV vaccine that can help protect and prevent some types of cervical cancer.
