Cervical Cancer News for Clinicians

• Breast & Cervical Cancer Clinical Updates
  Prior to January 2006, many issues of the Michigan BCCCP Newsletter contained the Breast & Cervical Cancer Clinical Update, a special insert that provided relevant information for program providers and their clinical staff. Although they were written specifically for Michigan Breast and Cervical Cancer Control Program providers, they proved to be of significant value for all clinicians dealing with breast and cervical cancer as part of their healthcare practices.
