According to the American Cancer Society, cancer is the second leading cause of death among Hispanic people, accounting for 17% of deaths. Compared with non-Hispanic Whites, Hispanic men and women are:

* Less likely to be diagnosed with the most common cancers: lung, colorectal, breast, and prostate.

* More likely to develop cancer in the liver, stomach, and cervix. These cancers are linked with infectious agents, such as HPV, and are largely preventable.

“Human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine can be a success story for the United States, just like the Polio vaccine. If we start vaccinating more of our children and young adults, we will see the rates of cervical cancer plummet. Girls, boys, women, and men are eligible for the vaccine between the ages of 9-45 years old. It works the best when you get it in childhood.” - Dr. Lori Spoozak, gynecological oncologist.
