Welcome to the National Cervical Cancer Coalition Website "Thank you for making the NCCC the country's premier cervical cancer information center. We have had over 200,000 hits on this NCCC WEB page!" Return to Home En Espanol Latest Updates Our Mission The mission of the National Cervical Cancer Coalition (NCCC) is to: 1) Enhance awareness of the traditional Pap smear, new technologies, treatment and reimbursement issues facing cervical cancer screening. 2) Develop a grass roots effort directed toward explaining the Pap smear and the difficulties that current below cost, low levels of reimbursement rates cause for the traditional Pap smear and potential new technology. 3) Clearly communicate the continued importance and success of cervical cancer screening as a national communicable disease/cancer screening test to lower cervical cancer rates, with emphasis on access to quality testing for all women, including those most in need of a pap smear, i.e. women who are sexually active, young, poor and may not have had a prior Pap smear. 4) Review national and international cervical cancer screening and treatment programs.

This condition usually develops over time. Normal cervical cells may gradually undergo changes to become precancerous and then cancerous. Cervical intraepithelial neoplasia ( CIN ) is the term used to describe these abnormal changes. CIN is classified according to the degree of cell abnormality. Low-grade CIN indicates a minimal change in the cells and high-grade CIN indicates a greater degree of abnormality. CIN may progress to squamous intraepithelial lesion ( SIL ; condition that precedes cervical cancer) or to carcinoma in situ (cancer that does not extend beyond the epithelial membrane). SIL is also classified as low-grade or high-grade. High-grade SIL and carcinoma in situ may progress to

Mammography Rescreening Among Low-Income Women According to a recent study investigating mammography rescreening among low-income women enrolled in the National Breast and Cervical Cancer Early Detection Program, providers and public health programs may need to communicate more effectively with their enrollees to encourage these women to complete routine rescreening. Data indicate that nearly one out of every five enrollees was not adhering to the rescreening schedule considered most beneficial for the early detection of breast cancer. These women need to know that they should have another mammogram every 1-2 years and that they may be eligible for another free mammogram.

Facts About Cervical Cancer Finding Cervical Cancer Frequently Asked Questions About the Campaign Campaign Partner Profiles ... Press Releases What is cervical cancer? Cervical cancer begins in the cervix, the part of the uterus or womb that opens to the vagina. Before doctors started using the Pap test in the 1950s, cervical cancer was the leading cause of death from cancer in women. In the United States, the Pap test saves the lives of 70% of the women who might have died from cervical cancer without the test. Recent advances in screening and work on a vaccine could help the effort to wipe out cervical cancer. Every year, about 10,520 women in the United States get cervical cancer and about 3,900 women die from it. In other countries, cervical cancer affects approximately 500,000 women each year. In some parts of the world, it is still the most common cancer in women. What causes cervical cancer?

HPVs may also play a role in cancers of the anus vulva vagina , and penis , and some cancers of the oropharynx (see Question 3 Although there is no cure for HPV infection , the warts and lesions these viruses cause can be treated (see Question 9 Researchers at the National Cancer Institute and elsewhere are conducting research on HPV-related cancers (see Question 10 What are human papillomaviruses, and how are they transmitted? Human papillomaviruses (HPVs) are a group of more than 100 types of viruses. They are called papillomaviruses because certain types may cause warts, or papillomas, which are benign (noncancerous) tumors . The HPVs that cause the common warts which grow on hands and feet are different from those that cause growths in the throat or genital area. Some types of HPVs are associated with certain types of cancer. Of the more than 100 types of HPVs, over 30 types can be passed from one person to another through sexual contact. Although HPVs are usually transmitted sexually, doctors cannot say for certain when infection occurred. Most HPV infections come and go over the course of a few years. However, sometimes HPV infection persists for many years, with or without causing

Pap smears are used primarily to detect cancer of the uterine cervix or precancerous conditions - abnormalities of the cervix that may lead to cancer. Since its introduction in the early 1940's, the Pap smear is credited with saving tens of thousands of women's lives and decreasing deaths from cervical cancer by more than 70%. The key is early detection made possible by microscopic examination of a specially treated sample of cervical cells. Every woman should have an annual Pap smear as part of a complete pelvic examination beginning when she becomes sexually active or reaches 18 years of age and continuing for the rest of her life.

Ninety percent of cervical cancers arise from the flattened or "squamous" cells covering the cervix. Most of the remaining 10% arise from the glandular, mucus-secreting cells of the cervical canal leading into the uterus. Causes, incidence, and risk factors Return to top The development of cervical cancer is gradual and begins as a pre-cancerous condition called dysplasia. In this form it is 100% treatable, usually without the need for a hysterectomy (surgical removal of the uterus). Dysplasia, depending on its severity, can resolve without treatment, particularly in young women. However, it often progresses to actual cancer called "carcinoma in situ" (CIS) if it has not spread, or "microinvasive" if it has spread only a few millimeters into the surrounding tissue and not into the lymph channels or blood vessels.

C E R V I C A L C A N C E R What is the Cervix? "Pap" smear, to look for cancerous cells, and it can be seen by a doctor performing a pelvic examination. What is Cervical Cancer? Normally the cervix has stopped growing by puberty, but it's cells will continue to divide to replace those that die of injury or old age. While some division of cervical cells to replace old or injured ones is normal, it is a tightly controlled process. Sometimes a abnormal cell may arise which divides out of control. This will then form a tumor . A tumor is simply a swelling, and does not necessarily mean cancer (obviously most swellings are not cancerous). If a tumor only grows in it's local area, it is called "benign" and is not cancer. If, however, it has the capability to spread to other areas of the body, then it is called "malignant" and is cancer. Cervical cancer starts in just one single cell , but this cell quickly divides to form many similar cancer cells, which each continue to grow. Eventually, if not cured, these cells push the normal cells out of the way, grow a large tumor, and spread to other body areas to ultimately kill the patient. Cervical cancer kills by anemia, infection, blockage of kidney drainage ("uremia") and general disability. How Common is Cervical Cancer?
