Allsup Supports Cervical Cancer Awareness Month With SSDI Expertise For Patients

Belleville, Illinois, Jan. 16, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Allsup, the nation’s leading provider of Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) representation services, is shining a light on Cervical Cancer Awareness Month by highlighting the critical role of SSDI benefits for individuals diagnosed with this serious condition. This January, Allsup emphasizes its dedication to guiding individuals with cervical cancer through the complex SSDI process and connecting them with essential financial resources to focus on their health and recovery.

According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), cervical cancer care imposes substantial costs on patients and their families, with initial treatments averaging $58,700, annual ongoing care costs of $4,000, and end-of-life care reaching $97,000. These expenses, coupled with the potential loss of income due to the severity of the condition, underscore the importance of SSDI benefits. “At Allsup, we understand the physical and financial challenges that accompany a cancer diagnosis when assisting our SSDI customers,” said T.J. Geist, Principal Advocate at Allsup. “Our services help alleviate financial stress, allowing patients to concentrate fully on their well-being.”

Cervical Cancer Treatment Advancements
A recent study published in The Lancet offers hope for individuals with advanced cervical cancer. The Interlace trial found that adding a short course of chemotherapy before standard treatment significantly improves survival rates, increasing five-year progression-free survival from 64% to 72% and overall survival from 72% to 80%. Early screening for cervical cancer remains a critical tool, as the study underscores that earlier detection significantly improves treatment outcomes and increases survival rates. These advancements highlight the importance of timely access to medical care and financial support.
