Based on the findings ACOG is increasing its efforts to educate women about cancer and the need for regular screening tests.
Although the survey found many misconceptions(错误观念)about cancer, 76 percent of women surveyed did say they feel knowledgeable about how they can reduce their risk of the disease.
However, only 52 percent said they were doing enough to reduce that risk. And 10 percent said they hadnt done anything in the past year to lower their risk. Seventeen percent said they wouldnt change their lifestyles even if changes would lower their cancer risk..
Many women said they were afraid to undergo screening out of fear of finding cancer. Twenty percent said they didnt want to know if they had cancer.
In response to these findings ACOG will launch on Oct. 2g a new website-Protect Detect What Women should know about cancer. The guide is designed to help women to take charge of their health and improve their understanding of their risk of cancer-and the lifestyle steps they can take to cut that risk.
