National Cervical Cancer Coalition Stresses Importance Of Screening And Prevention During January Cervical Health Awareness Month
Approximately
10,000 American women will learn they have cervical cancer/HPV this year,
and nearly 4,000 will die from an advanced form of the disease. This
January, during Cervical Health Awareness Month, the National Cervical
Cancer Coalition (NCCC) is focused on educating women about the importance
of the Pap test as a screening tool for cervical cancer/HPV and about
vaccines that can further reduce the burden of this devastating disease.
It's the start of a new year - a time many reflect on their health. To
start the year right, we encourage women to contact their health care
provider to schedule a Pap test to check for cervical cancer. This
screening is a crucial part of a woman's health care regimen, yet one that
many overlook. "It's important to remember that cervical cancer is a
preventable disease - as long as it's caught early enough," says Ms. Sarina
Araujo, Executive Director of the NCCC.
While routine administration of Pap tests is the best means of
detecting cervical cancer at an early stage, vaccines have the potential to
protect women from the disease, by targeting cancer-causing types of the
human papillomavirus (HPV). HPV, a virus transmitted through sexual
contact, is the single known cause of cervical cancer. Two forms of the
virus, HPV 16 and HPV 18, account for more than 70 percent of all cervical
cancer cases. Some medical experts believe that through a successful
education, screening and vaccination program for women, we will have the
potential to nearly eliminate cervical cancer in the U.S.
"These vaccines represent a major advancement in women's health and in
cancer prevention. With these new tools, we may be able to help ensure no
woman in the United States has to endure cervical cancer," says Juan C.
Felix, MD, chairman of the NCCC medical advisory panel and chief of OB/GYN
pathology at the Women's and Children's Hospital, University of Southern
California Keck School of Medicine. "We hope these vaccines will make
cervical cancer a concern of the past."
Mr. Alan Kaye, the Chair of the Board of Directors of the NCCC states;
"The United States has an inadequate delivery system for vaccines that may
hinder mass immunization of women for the cervical cancer/HPV vaccine." Mr.
Kaye went on to state; "The United States healthcare system is not
structured adequately to handle the widespread immunization of adolescents
and young adults."
About the National Cervical Cancer Coalition
The National Cervical Cancer Coalition (NCCC), founded in 1997, is a
grassroots nonprofit organization serving women with, or at risk for,
cervical cancer and HPV. The NCCC is the only organization dedicated
exclusively to helping women address concerns about cervical health and
disease. The group executes its mission to improve women's cervical health
outcomes through education, support and advocacy for women and health care
providers.
The NCCC supports the nation's first Cervical Cancer Hotline for women
and family members who are battling issues related to cervical cancer. In
addition, it promotes patient interaction and support though its Phone Pals
and E-Pals Programs, which match cervical cancer survivors with other women
who are now living with or have experienced similar circumstances. The NCCC
raises awareness nationally through a variety of initiatives, including the
Cervical Cancer Quilts Project, a traveling exhibit that puts a personal
face on the battle against cervical cancer.
