National Cervical Cancer Coalition (NCCC) State Chapters to Provide Parents With Educational Forum to Discuss Cervical Cancer and HPV Vaccines
Date:1/15/2008

he National Cervical Cancer Coalition (NCCC) is a grassroots non-profit organization serving women with or at risk for cervical cancer or HPV. The NCCC is the only organization dedicated exclusively to helping women, their family members and friends address concerns about cervical cancer and HPV disease. The group executes its mission to improve women's cervical health outcomes through education, support, and advocacy for women, their families and healthcare providers. The NCCC has over 4,000 members.

The NCCC supports the nation's first Cervical Cancer Hotline for women and family members who are battling issues related to cervical cancer. In addition, it promotes patient interaction and support through its Phone Pal and e-Pals Programs, which match cervical cancer survivors with other women who are now living with or have experienced similar circumstances. The NCCC is the sponsor of its growing online cervical cancer/HPV community. The coalition also raises awareness nationally through a variety of initiatives, including the Cervical Cancer Quilts Project, a traveling exhibit that puts a personal face on the battle against cervical cancer. Because HPV may be a causative agent in a percentage of some other cancer sites such as vaginal, vulvar, penile, anal and some head and neck cancers, the NCCC has adopted the name of the National HPV Cancer Coalition and intertwined it with the name of the National Cervical Cancer Coalition.
