KIRKSVILLE, MO. -- Healthy Women of Northeast Regional Medical Center joined together with the George Rae Cancer Center to talk about breast cancer, colon cancer and HPV.

Putting a humorous twist on things different bras were created for employees to vote on which one they liked the best.

George Rea Cancer Center M.D. Joseph Muscato said early detection and prevention are very important.

“I want to emphasize the risk of breast cancer (and) also the risk of colon cancer and the screening for that,” Muscato said. “And, I also think that a lot of women don’t understand (the) risk of HPV.”

If you have questions you can contact the George Rea Cancer Center at 660-785-1050.
