There’s a new way to screen for cervical cancer. With self-collection, you can take a sample of cells from your vagina. Your sample is sent to a lab that tests for HPV, the cause of almost all cervical cancer. There’s no pelvic exam, stirrups, or speculum involved. And research shows the results are just as accurate.

The National Cervical Cancer Coalition (NCCC) works to educate people community by community and volunteers are at the heart of that effort. Our volunteer local chapter leaders—many of whom are cervical cancer survivors—are passionate about seeking out opportunities to educate people through health fairs, awareness walk/runs, and education and fundraising events. These individuals have demonstrated a true passion to help others and as a result thousands of people across this country have benefited from their efforts.
