This brief questionnaire can be used as an aid in estimating your risk for the cancer that will strike more than 13,000 American women this year. Perhaps more than with any other cancer, there's much you may be able to do to reduce your risk of cervical cancer. According to the American Cancer Society, cervical cancer risk is closely linked to sexual behavior and to sexually transmitted infections with certain types of human papilloma virus. Women who first have intercourse at an early age, who have multiple sexual partners or who have partners who have had multiple sexual partners are at increased risk of developing the disease. Smoking also raises the risk.","");
