🩷 January is Cervical Cancer Awareness Month! Thanks to animal research, we’ve seen incredible breakthroughs in preventing and treating cervical cancer. The HPV vaccine, made possible through research with rabbits, mice and cows, has drastically reduced cases worldwide. And treatments like chemotherapy and immunotherapy, tested with animal models, continue to save lives every day. Together, we are paving the way for a brighter, cancer-free future. 🐾 #CervicalCancerAwareness #HPVVaccine #AnimalResearch #MakingMedicine #CancerPrevention
