Fewer NT women dying from cervical cancer
Posted
A new report shows death rates from cervical cancer have fallen dramatically among Northern Territory women.
The NT Health Department's report shows there was a 64% decline among non-Indigenous women between 1991 and 2005 and a 92% drop for Indigenous women.
The Department says that's because more women are having cervical screening and the figures also reflect effective follow-up treatment for abnormalities.
