Model died at the age of 26 – Cervical cancer: many deaths are preventable

Date:

At the age of 26, former Miss World candidate Sherika De Armas from Uruguay lost her battle with cervical cancer. In Austria, about 400 people are diagnosed and up to 180 die every year. This is one of the few types of cancer that can be prevented through vaccination and early detection.

The uterus consists of the cervix, which ends in the cervix at the bottom and connects to the body of the uterus at the top. Uterine cancer (body cancer) usually arises in the cells of the mucous membrane, is mainly caused by hereditary factors such as obesity, diabetes or long-term exposure to estrogen (usually due to hormonal disorders) and mainly occurs in old age. Cervical cancer and especially precancerous lesions, on the other hand, can form as early as the age of 20 and are closely associated with infection during sexual intercourse.
