#SmearForSmear Campaign

#SmearForSmear

 The Smear for Smear campaign has been organised by Jo's Cervical Cancer Trust to mark the Cervical Cancer prevention. Jo's Cervical Cancer center is ensuring women will be reminded to get their annual Pap smear (The test was invented by and named after the prominent Greek doctor Georgios Papanikolaou).

What can we do to reduce our risk of the cervical cancer?

 A well-proven way to prevent cervix cancer is to have testing (screening) to find pre-cancers before they can turn into invasive cancer. The Pap test (or Pap smear) and the human papillomavirus (HPV) test are used for this. If a pre-cancer is found it can be treated, stopping cervical cancer before it really starts. Most invasive cervical cancers are found in women who have not had regular Pap tests. (Source: www.cancer.org)

 Το #SmearForSmear είναι μία καμπάνια που δημιουργήθηκε με σκοπό να σηματοδοτήσει την πρόληψη του καρκίνου του τραχήλου της μήτρας και να διασφαλίσει την ύπαρξη μιας υπενθύμισης προς όλες τις γυναίκες για το ετήσιο τεστ Παπ (Η εξέταση ανακαλύφθηκε και πήρε το όνομα της από τον Έλληνα γιατρό Γεώργιο Παπανικολάου).

 Τι μπορούμε να κάνουμε για να μειώσουμε τον κίνδυνο εμφάνισης του καρκίνου του τραχήλου της μήτρας;

 Ένας πολύ καλά αποδεδειγμένος τρόπος πρόληψης του συγκεκριμένου καρκίνου είναι ο έλεγχος για προκαρκινικά κύτταρα πριν αυτά εξελιχθούν σε καρκίνο του τραχήλου. Αυτό επιτυγχάνεται με την εξέταση Παπανικολάου (τεστ Παπ). Αν εντοπιστούν προκαρκινικά κύτταρα εγκαίρως μπορούν να αφαιρεθούν και να σταματήσουν τον καρκίνο πριν καν εμφανιστεί πραγματικά. Ο κίνδυνος εμφάνισης του καρκίνου του τραχήλου της μήτρας (σύμφωνα με το: www.glaxosmithkline.gr) είναι 5 φορές μεγαλύτερος σε γυναίκες που δεν ελέγχονται τακτικά. 

Μην αμελείτε το Τεστ Παπ, μπορεί να σας σώσει τη ζωή!

 I admit that I'm not the usual follower of this type of social media campaigns, because I believe that in most cases they don't really contribute to the main cause. But in this case I think that this campaign can be a good reminder for prevention.

Golden Globes 2015 "Red Carpet Gossipolgy"

 Happy February people!

 The 72nd Golden Globe Awards ceremony took place in California on January 11, 2015. Here is the annual Red Carpet Gossipology (better late than never) post. Check out what happened on the red carpet, the top five of the best red carpet appearances and some more interesting looks.

 My Top 5...

1. Emma Stone - Lanvin embellished jumpsuit with an oversized bow on the back. Christian Louboutin pointy pumps. My favourite appearance of the night. She was elegant and cool at the same time! Emma becomes a red carpet guru.

5. Felicity Jones - Christian Dior custom gown. Van Cleef and Arpel vintage jewelry was the perfect touch. This appearance is the definition of the "red carpet look". Felicity stood out in this classic, teal blue gown. Excellent hairstyle and smokey eye make up.

Kate Hudson - Atelier Versace dress. Jimmy Choo clutch and Forevermark diamond jewelry. Fab and sexy! The dress fits perfect on her and I love the back. But I think that this look is too naked for my taste.
