Gynecologic Cancer Awareness: Learn the Signs. Listen to Your Body.

Women experience many health changes during the course of their lifetime. Knowing what is and is not normal for your body can go a long way in helping a woman maintain her gynecologic health. In addition, knowing the warning signs of gynecologic cancer (cancer in women’s reproductive organs) can help women recognize what to watch out for and when to see a doctor.

For September’s National Gynecologic Cancer Awareness Month, CDC’s Inside Knowledge campaign has new animated TV and radio PSAs in English and Spanish along with paid digital and social media promotion. “Not Just Words” encourages women ages 35 and older, to know the signs of gynecologic cancer and see a doctor if symptoms persist. A media toolkit with new shareable graphics are also available for health partners and others. The new PSAs and other information are available on Google, YouTube, Facebook, and across new channels including:

A new digital billboard in New York City’s Times Square will display through September focusing on symptoms of gynecologic cancer.
Hulu will auto-play the new “Not Just Words” video ads.
Radio spots on Pandora with corresponding display ads that prompt women to visit the CDC web site to learn more.
