How early detection can help you get ahead of cervical cancer

AUSTIN (KXAN) — The American Cancer Society says 12,000 new cases of invasive cervical cancer are diagnosed each year. Dr. Yvette Williams-Brown from Seton Medical Center joins KXAN to talk about how early detection can help women fight the disease.
Dr. Williams-Brown says while 12,000 is a large number, it is important to note that cervical pre-cancers are diagnosed far more often than invasive cervical cancer thanks to the Pap Smear test that screens for cancerous cells on the cervix.Thi
