Erin Andrews Launches Aflac ‘Check for Cancer’ Campaign to Boost Screenings

The FOX NFL broadcaster leverages her cervical cancer experience to urge earlier detection through Aflac’s new screening initiative.

Overview

  • Aflac’s Check for Cancer aims to raise U.S. screening rates by 10% over the next decade with resources now live on the company’s site.
  • The campaign pledges $5 per social post using #CheckforCancer for childhood cancer research and care, up to $1 million.
  • Andrews says a routine gynecological exam in 2017 caught her cervical cancer early, leading to successful treatment after two surgeries.
  • She continues regular surveillance after recovery and recently underwent additional testing following a mammogram abnormality, highlighting the anxiety many feel around checkups.
  • Sharing her fertility journey, including IVF, surrogacy and a disclosed surrogate miscarriage, Andrews urges people to advocate for themselves and stay current on recommended screenings.
