Coping with Cancer
The National Cervical Cancer Coalition/HPV Cancer Coalition (NCCC) is a grassroots nonprofit organization helping women, family members, and friends battle the personal issues related to cervical cancer and HPV (human papillomavirus) disease. The NCCC has expanded its core mission to include helping both women and men who battle issues related to all HPV cancers; therefore, the NCCC is also called the HPV Cancer Coalition.
NCCC programs include the NCCC’s website, NCCC-online.org, and its interactive cervical cancer/HPV online community. Further programs include the cervical cancer/HPV quilts project, which travels worldwide to help provide a personal face to the devastation cervical cancer and HPV can cause. Furthermore, the NCCC has a Survivor section that allows its members to share their cancer stories. And the NCCC Phone/Email Pals program matches people battling cancer with other members who are coping with the same type and stage of cervical or HPV-related cancer.
The NCCC holds an annual three-day conference that provides interactive discussions, empowering attendees by providing current information related to cancer in a friendly and supportive environment. Its upcoming conference, HPV, Cancer and You: Realationships Matter, October 8-10, 2009, in Chicago, IL, will focus on connecting women, family members, caregivers, and clinicians with one another to build new relationships that matter. Often, cancer can make a person feel alone and isolated. At this conference, attendees will learn updated information about cervical cancer and HPV, as well as have the opportunity to build new relationships. Clinicians who attend will gain insight into the unique needs of people with cervical cancer and HPV and a better understanding of the emotional burden and stigma that comes with having a cancer that is connected with a sexually transmitted infection, such as HPV.
To help reach out nationwide, the NCCC has a Toolkit for its members that gives them the tools they need to communicate the message that cervical cancer is largely a preventable cancer through HPV vaccination, regular Pap testing, and HPV testing when recommended.
As designated by the United States government, January is Cervical Health Awareness Month, and the NCCC provides free posters that promote Cervical Health Awareness, which can be posted locally, reminding people of the importance of prevention and early detection.
NCCC is also supportive of the free Pap test day, which occurs on the second Friday in January, encouraging healthcare providers to offer a free Pap test or HPV test to any woman who has not had a Pap test or HPV test in three years.

NCCC
The National Cervical Cancer Coalition (NCCC) founded in 1996, is a grassroots nonprofit organization dedicated to serving women with, or at risk for, cervical cancer and HPV disease.
Cervical Cancer Screening Saves Lives, yet...
•11% of United States women report that they do not have their Pap test screenings
•In the United States, About 11,000 women are diagnosed with cervical cancer each year and 4,000+ women die in the USA each year from this disease.
•Women in developing countries account for about 85 percent of both the yearly cases of cervical cancer (estimated at 473,000 cases worldwide) and the yearly deaths from cervical cancer (estimated at 253,500 deaths worldwide).
•In the majority of developing countries, cervical cancer remains the number-one cause of cancer-related deaths among women.
•A woman who does not have her three shot prevention vaccine and her regular Pap test screen and HPV test when recommended, significantly increases her chances of developing cervical cancer.
•High-Risk HPV Types are directly related to cervical cancer, yet many women are unaware of what HPV is or the relationship it has to cervical cancer.
NCCC Goals:
•Maintain an on-going support system for women, family members and friends facing issues related to cervical cancer, HPV and other HPV cancers.
•Continue growing its existing recognition in the United States and ongoing recognition worldwide as a primary clinical and public education resource clearinghouse on cervical cancer, HPV related topics and other related cancers;
•Advocate for patient access to quality care and regular testing and vaccination to prevent cervical cancer/HPV disease;
•Reduce the stigma associated with cervical cancer and HPV disease.
NCCC Priorities:
•Develop high quality professional and public education programs to inform about current trends in access, technology, research or other issues pertinent to the field;
•Develop and engage constituents to further the education process. Constituents include women with cancer and HPV disease and their families, professionals, the public, health-care institutions, public policymakers and the media;
•Identify constituent/membership needs and programmatic gaps to guide organizational development and fundraising;
•Develop organizational partnerships to further NCCC mission and goals.
•Continue the NCCC annual conference for women battling cervical cancer and HPV disease.

Over 6,500 members have now joined the NCCC. Members include women, family members, caregivers, friends, women's groups, cytotechnologists, pathologists, clinicians, laboratories, cancer researchers, hospitals, organizations providing cervical cancer screening programs and other related associations.
