At Hunterdon Hematology Oncology (HHO), we understand that healing goes beyond medicine. While our team is dedicated to delivering compassionate, cutting-edge cancer care, we also recognize the profound role that music plays in nurturing the human spirit. That’s why we are honored to once again sponsor the Princeton Symphony Orchestra (PSO) for its 2023 Gala and the 2023-2024 Season of inspiring musical performances.

Music: Healing the Soul, Where Medicine Cannot Reach

Just as our physicians, nurses, and caregivers work to heal the body, music has the extraordinary ability to touch the heart and soul—offering comfort, joy, and resilience during life’s most challenging moments. The Princeton Symphony Orchestra embodies this belief, using the power of live music to uplift and transform the human experience.

As a cultural centerpiece of the Princeton community, the PSO brings world-class performances to audiences of all ages, blending beloved masterworks with bold, contemporary compositions. Led by Edward T. Cone Music Director Rossen Milanov, the PSO continues to innovate, inspire, and enrich the lives of countless music lovers.

A Shared Commitment to Community

HHO and the PSO share a deep commitment to serving the community. Whether through cutting-edge cancer treatments or stirring musical performances, we believe in fostering hope, resilience, and well-being. The PSO’s mission—to leverage the power of live music to uplift the human experience—beautifully aligns with our vision of whole-person healing.

Through this sponsorship, we are proud to support the PSO’s dedication to:

  • Excellence in artistic expression
  • Education and outreach programs for students
  • Equity, diversity, and inclusion in the arts
  • Creative collaborations that bring music to new audiences

Join Us in Celebrating Music & Healing

We invite our patients, families, and the entire community to experience the joy and inspiration of the Princeton Symphony Orchestra’s 2023-2024 season. From orchestral masterpieces at historic Richardson Auditorium to the thrilling Princeton Festival in June, each performance is a testament to the enduring power of music.

Explore the season lineup and secure your tickets at Princeton Symphony Orchestra.

At HHO, we believe in healing through both medicine and music—because sometimes, the most profound healing happens in places that science cannot touch. We are honored to support the Princeton Symphony Orchestra and look forward to another season of extraordinary music that moves, inspires, and heals.

10 Must-Know Facts About Cervical Cancer

This past year, an estimated 14,100 women in the United States were diagnosed with invasive cervical cancer, yet it is the fourth most frequently diagnosed cancer in women between the ages of 35 and 44 worldwide.

Cervical cancer affects the cervix, and the most common cause is infection with the human papillomavirus (HPV), a sexually transmitted infection. Cervical cancer can often be found early, and sometimes even prevented, by having regular screening tests. If detected early, cervical cancer is one of the most successfully treatable cancers.

As January is Cervical Cancer Awareness Month, here are the top 10 key facts and statistics you need to know about cervical cancer:

  1. Cervical cancer is the fourth most common cancer in women worldwide, with an estimated 570,000 new cases and 311,000 deaths in 2020.
  2. HPV is mainly transmitted through sexual contact and most people are infected with HPV shortly after the onset of sexual activity. More than 90% of them clear the infection eventually.
  3. Cervical cancer is more common in women who smoke, have multiple sexual partners, or have a weakened immune system.
  4. Women living with HIV are 6 times more likely to develop cervical cancer compared to women without HIV.
  5. Cervical cancer can be prevented through HPV vaccinations, practicing safe sex, quitting smoking, and getting regular cancer screenings, such as Pap tests or HPV tests.
  6. Currently available vaccines are intended to produce immunity to HPV types that cause about 90% of cervical cancers. Two main HPV types are responsible for nearly 50% of high grade cervical pre-cancers.
  7. Symptoms of cervical cancer may include abnormal vaginal bleeding, pain during sex, and abnormal discharge.
  8. Treatment options for cervical cancer may include surgery, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, immunotherapy, and targeted therapy.
  9. The 5-year survival rate for cervical cancer is 92% for cases detected at the earliest stage (stage 0 or stage 1). This drops to 57% for stage 2, 17% for stage 3, and 9% for stage 4.
  10. Cervical cancer is a leading cause of cancer death in women in many developing countries, but is much less common in developed countries due to widespread access to screening and vaccination. Cervical cancer disproportionately affects women of lower socio-economic status and those who lack access to healthcare.

At Hunterdon Hematology Oncology, we are a community oncology practice holding continuous education and information sharing as a top priority. WHO practices integrative oncology, using complementary techniques to improve quality of life and help our patients manage the journey through cancer treatment.
