What is the National Cervical Cancer Coalition (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 10,000 women are diagnosed with cervical cancer each year and about 3,700 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.
