Rising Cervical cancer awareness :

During your visit in this web site, you will discover that the main issue of the European Cervical Cancer Association is to raise cervical cancer awareness, by coordinating a Europe-wide public health education programme, and by showing how are many developed countries acting in order to reduce the cervical cancer rate.

Ecca is supporting activities that aim to reduce the burden of this disease. In fact, the cervical cancer awareness programme starts with offering you the opportunity to be informed with educational articles concerning cervical cancer symptoms, treatments, and prevention strategies.

Cervical cancer awareness all over the world :

Many countries strongly recommend screening for cervical cancer for all women who have been sexually active and who still have a cervix.

Nevertheless, approximately half of the cervical cancers currently diagnosed in many countries are in women who have never received a Pap test, and an additional 10 percent occur in women who have not been screened within the past 5 years.
