Dr. John Oertle of Envita Medical Centers Reiterates the Importance of Cervical Cancer Testing on AZFamily

Timely and regular screenings can play a crucial role in preventing cervical cancer, which is known for being a silent disease. “It grows really slowly, and it's very silent. People don't know that they have it, and the only way to really know is to visit your gynecologist and get tested,” said Dr. John Oertle, Chief Medical Director of Envita Medical Centers. Speaking during Cervical Cancer Awareness Month, Dr. Oertle explained that this type of cancer is easy to treat if diagnosed early, but it can be complicated and difficult to treat in its later stages.

However, Dr. Oertle and his specially trained team at Envita Medical Centers have successfully treated many late-stage cervical cancer patients through their innovative approach to advanced precision integrative oncology. They combine the latest developments in conventional medicine with research-based natural therapies to precisely target each individual patient's disease burden while bolstering their immune systems for lasting outcomes.

Emphasizing the role of the immune system, especially in a cancer that is largely linked to HPV (Human Papilloma Virus) infection, Dr. Oertle said, “If it's caused by a virus, you want to keep your immune system healthy.” He added that maintaining a healthy immune system through lifestyle changes may also play a critical role in reducing the risk of cervical cancer.
