HPV and Anal Cancer: Marcia Cross & Lillian Kreppel Discuss Risks, Prevention, and Early Detection

Anal cancer is more common than many people think, but early detection can be lifesaving. Unfortunately, stigma often prevents individuals from seeking care for early warning signs. In this episode, we are joined by two inspiring guests who share their personal stories and expert insights. HPV Cancers Alliance Co-Founder Lillian Kreppel, a cancer thriver, teams up with Marcia Cross, award-winning actress and fellow anal cancer survivor and HPV Cancers Alliance Co-Founder. Together, they aim to raise awareness about the link between HPV and anal cancer, promote preventative care, and dismantle the stigma surrounding this condition. Don’t miss this powerful conversation that could change how we approach anal cancer awareness.
