ALTON - To mark National Women’s Health Week, Dr. Dennis Sands stopped by “Our Daily Show!” with C.J. Nasello to talk about HPV and cervical cancer. Sands, who serves as the chief medical officer for OSF St. Anthony’s, explained there are over 100 different strains of the human papillomavirus (HPV). If left untreated, HPV can develop into cervical cancer. Fortunately, there are many preventative measures and screenings that people can undergo for early detection and treatment. “We try to make sure we catch that and make that diagnosis in people when we see it,” Sands said. “We see decreasing rates in parts of the country due to the screening since it’s become available, decreasing rates of dysplasia and also decreasing rates of cervical cancer in a lot of areas.” According to Sands, Pap smears and HPV screens are the most common ways to screen for HPV.
