Jersey Shore star Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi announced she has been diagnosed with cancer.
In a post on TikTok, Snooki revealed she was diagnosed with stage 1 cervical cancer.
Snooki, who is only 38, told her followers, “My results came back from my biopsy, and it came back stage one cervical cancer called adenocarcinoma.”
She later told her fans, who are mostly young women, to “get your pap smears done,” which is a screening procedure that collects cells from the cervix to detect cancer.
Per Fox 29:
Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi, known for her role on “Jersey Shore,” announced she has been diagnosed with stage 1 cervical cancer and is sharing her health journey with fans.
In a video posted to TikTok, Polizzi said her recent cone biopsy results showed she has stage 1 cervical cancer, specifically adenocarcinoma.
She explained, “My results came back from my biopsy and it came back stage one cervical cancer called um adenocarcinoma or something like 1b1… obviously not the news that I was hoping for, but also not the worst news. Just because they caught it so early. Thank frickin’ God.”
Polizzi emphasized the importance of regular screenings, saying, “I’m literally telling you guys to get your pap smears done. I’m 38 years old. I’ve been struggling with abnormal pap smears for like three, four years now, and now look at me… instead of just like putting it off because I didn’t wanna go and it hurt and I was scared, no, I just went and did it and it was there.”

The Medical University of South Carolina has reported that there has been an increase in cancer among women in their early 30s.
Cervical cancer is not the only cancer on the rise among young adults.
Colon cancer has also seen its rates spike among young adults in recent years.
Dr. John Marshall of Georgetown University’s Lombardi Comprehensive Cancer Center shares, “We’re now starting to see more and more people in the 20s, 30s, and 40-year-old range developing colon cancer. At the beginning of my career, nobody that age had colorectal cancer.”
One of the latest victims of colon cancer was Dawson Creek Actor James Van Der Beek, who died last week at the age of 48.
