Number of Cervical Cancer Deaths in U.S. Declining, But Certain Groups of Women Most Affected, NCI Report Says

Although the number of annual cervical cancer deaths in the US has consistently declined since 1975, certain groups of U.S. women are significantly more likely to die from the disease than other women in large part because of disparities in accessing health care services, according to a... report released last week by the NIH National Cancer Institute, Reuters Health/RedNova reports. Black women in the South, women living along the Texas-Mexico border, white women in Appalachia, American Indians in the Northern Plains, Vietnamese-American women and Alaska Natives are among the U.S. women who are most likely to die of cervical cancer, according to the report. Women in the groups with high cervical cancer death rates also were more likely than other U.S. women to be low-income, have little formal education and be diagnosed with other diseases, including breast cancer, colorectal cancer and heart disease. In addition, these women were less likely to have a regular source of health care or use preventive services (McCook, Reuters Health/RedNova, 7/22). Most early cervical cancer cases are caught through regular Pap tests and are highly treatable, but most cases of invasive cervical cancer occur among women who have not had a Pap test in at least five years. About 4,000 U.S. women die from cervical cancer annually (Neergaard, AP/Newark Star-Ledger, 7/26). Recommendations, Programs
In order to reduce the number of deaths associated with cervical cancer, experts should educate women about the importance of screening, Harold Freeman, the report's author, said (Reuters Health/RedNova, 7/22). The report also recommends health care professionals increase outreach efforts to women who do not receive regular screening for cervical cancer and other diseases and remove economic and cultural barriers for low-income and minority women to access health services. In addition, the report calls for improved insurance coverage and reimbursement for cancer-related services (NCI release, 7/19). A $25 million federal grant program is under way to recruit community volunteers to promote Pap tests and help women diagnosed with cervical cancer access medical services. The federal government also has allocated $95 million for 25 community projects to reduce disparities in rates of cervical, breast and colorectal cancers. In addition, CDC's Reach 2010 campaign will provide about $35 million in grants this year to reduce disparities among six health problems, including cervical cancer (AP/Newark Star-Ledger, 7/26).
