How Women Can Prevent Cervical Cancer

According to the Doctor’s Lounge, there are ways that cervical cancer can be prevented. When cancer results in missed time from work, you could be eligible to receive long-term disability benefits.

Last month the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists reported that girls and young women should be receiving the HPV (human papillomavirus) vaccine and women should be receiving Pap tests, with both helping to prevent cervical cancer. While more and more are doing this, there are still improvements to be made.

Every year more than 4,000 women lose their lives to cervical cancer; however, many of these deaths could have been prevented. When the cancer is caught early, it is treatable.

The American Cancer Society indicates that this year we can expect to see more than 12,000 new cervical cancer cases. While this nation has seen a significant drop in the past 30 years when it comes to this cancer diagnosis, more cases could be prevented.

Whether you were diagnosed with cervical cancer, another type of cancer or any other severe health condition in which you will be unable to work for an extended period of time, you may wish to seek legal counsel. A Miami long-term disability attorney can determine if you are eligible for disability benefits and may be able to assist you with appealing a claim that has been denied.

Long-term disability benefits may be available to those who have purchased a disability plan from a private insurer or have coverage through an employer. Unfortunately, the insurers don’t make it easy for the disabled to get access to the benefits they deserve.

When a severe medical condition makes it impossible for you to work and you’ve been denied your long-term disability benefits, an attorney from LaVan & Neidenberg, P.A. can help you cut through the red tape and fight for your benefits, no matter where you live in the U.S!
