Global Cervical Cancer

Share

No woman has to die from cervical cancer. Today, the disease takes the lives of 265,000 women every year across the globe, and nearly 90 percent of those deaths occur in low- and middle-income countries.

With focused resources, we could eliminate death from cervical cancer worldwide.

We are working with the federal government to scale up the HPV vaccination rates and cervical cancer screening and treatment programs in developing countries, where they are needed most.

The ACS CAN report, ‘Saving Women’s Lives: Accelerating Action to Eliminate Cervical Cancer Globally’ examines the increased prevalence of cervical cancer in low and middle-income countries (LMICs) and calls on Congress to dedicate a portion of U.S. global funding to implement proven strategies to end deaths from this disease worldwide.
