Doc Talk with Monument Health: Episode 123: From Stigma to Solutions: Transforming Cervical Cancer Prevention with Daniel Petereit, M.D., FASTRO and Keely Ulmer, M.D.
Description
Daniel Petereit, M.D., FASTRO, Monument Health Radiation Oncologist, and Keely Ulmer, M.D., University of Iowa Gynecologic Oncologist, join host Leslie Cline to discuss the groundbreaking work in cervical cancer screening. In this episode, Drs. Petereit and Ulmer discuss the barriers faced when encouraging healthy people to get early prevention testing as well as accessing care, including the discomfort and fears associated with traditional screening methods. They explore the promising shift toward self-collection HPV testing, which provides a less invasive, more accessible option for people to screen for cervical cancer from the comfort of their own homes.
They also dive into their current research, which aims to engage and educate rural and Native American communities about the benefits of this new screening method. The duo share insights on how this initiative could greatly reduce mortality rates of cervical cancer for all communities, while empowering people to take more control over their health care. Dr. Ulmer also discusses her efforts to mentor the next generation of Native American health care professionals, emphasizing the importance of representation in medicine.
