Amazing and thank you so much! ❤️❤️❤️
Nearly all cases of cervical cancer—about 99%—are caused by high-risk HPV infections, a virus so common that 8 in 10 people will contract it at some point in their lives.
A bit of positive news? Mexican scientist Eva Ramón Gallegos is the first to eradicate the virus in 29 women. This is a major medical advancement and gives hope to the millions affected by the virus, 10% of whom are Hispanic women.
Gallegos is a global award-winning scientist and her massive breakthrough came after years of research and the use of photodynamic therapy that involves applying delta-aminolevulinic acid to the cervix. It then transforms into an active form and when exposed to laser light eliminates infected cells without damaging healthy tissue. Eradicated HPV viruses could be a drop in cervical cancer numbers.
