Cervical Cancer Awareness - Healthway Medical

Stages of Cervical Cancer
Cervical cancer is one of the most curable types of cancer but despite this, it still ranks as one of the leading causes of death among Filipino women today. According to the Department of Health (DOH), while the number of cases of cervical cancer is decreasing in developed countries like the United States, it is on the rise in the Philippines.

Cervical cancer is commonly caused by the Human Papillomavirus. The HPV 16 and 18 viruses are commonly associated with the prevalence of cervical cancer among Filipino women. Risky sexual practices, sexual intercourse at young ages, use of injectable contraceptives and even smoking are identified as the reasons for the development of this disease. 

 Though cervical cancer can be fatal if not caught in its early stages, it is very treatable and can easily be detected through a Pap Smear test. A Pap Smear Test or Pap Test is a simple procedure that tests the presence of abnormal cells in the cervix, lower part of the uterus which, according to doctors, is actually a very big help in bringing down cervical cancer cases. “It is alarming that despite the availability of this the Pap Smear Test, many women are still not getting it as regularly as they should,” said Carmie De Leon, vice president for sales and marketing of Healthway Medical.



In observance of Women’s Month, Healthway Medical, the country’s most trusted and leading mall-based clinic, is one with the government in enjoining women to combat cervical cancer by making the public aware of the need to undergo Pap Smear Test.



“As our mission of making men and women aware of the importance of making healthy living part of everyday lifestyle, we encourage women to take the Pap Smear Test every year or every 2 years. Healthway Medical offers this test in all our clinics in Metro Manila.” 


She adds that women should not be embarrassed to undergo the test insisting that the Pap Smear Test is relatively simple and poses no great discomfort.


Doctors advise that women 22 years old and above should undergo pap smear every year or once every three years, particularly when results are negative for three consecutive years. This ensures that the cancer is detected early while it is still treatable.


In another study done by the ICO Information Center on HPV and Cancer, 30.3M women in the Philippines ages 15 and above are at risk of developing cervical cancer. It is the 2nd most frequent cancer among women in the Philippines and is the 2nd most frequent cancer among women between the ages of 15 and 44 years of age.


De Leon added: “It is also important to get vaccinated against the Human Papillomavirus while early even if you are not at-risk.”

Abby Asistio: Facebook Invitation for Friends Day Celebration

January 32, 2016 - Abby Asistio flew to San Francisco to attend the 12th Anniversary Friends Day celebration with California-based Alopecia Awareness Advocate, Rachel Regal. Abby was chosen as one of the 18th friends invited by Facebook. Alopecia is an auto-imune condition which results in partial or total head and body hair loss. Ms Asistio had it since she was four. While Rachel just developed it sometime in 2012, the same year she discovered that her 10-year old daughter, Eliana had it, too. Six inspiring stories were picked by Facebook among it's 1.64 billion users and Abby's friends were all amazed when they found out that Abby's story was one of them. Imagine that!

Abby and Rachel met each other through the double A hand sign campaign that Abby started in 2012. They've been "connected" since then. Last year, Facebook Stories featured how these two were able to build a friendship, as well as campaign for disease awareness through Facebook! On the 1st of February, Abby and Rachel had the chance to tour Facebook Headquartes in Menlo Park, San Francisco. Meet and chat with the people behind Facebook such as the Founder & CEO Mark Zuckerberg, COO Sheryl Sandberg, CPO Chris Cox and a whole lot of awesome people. They get crazy cool gadgets and have one of the best experience of their lives.
