NRTCC – National Cervical Cancer Round Table

Our Mission

Through collective action ACS NRTCC will tackle disparities in cervical cancer prevention, screening, and treatment in order to eliminate cervical cancer and reduce the harms caused by the disease.

By the Numbers

Cervical cancer is preventable, yet too many are still dying. While death rates have dropped since the 1970s due to screening and prevention, progress has stalled. Black and Native American women and people with a cervix face significantly higher death rates that are about 65% higher than White women. Alarmingly, half of those diagnosed have never been screened, highlighting the need to expand access and reduce health disparities.

13,360

estimated cases of invasive cervical cancer will be diagnosed in the US in 2025.
50%

of cervical cancer diagnoses are in neverscreened people, and 10% are in underscreened people.
50% and 70% higher

cancer mortality rates in Black women and Native American women, respectively, compared to White women.
90%

of cervical cancers can be prevented with the HPV vaccine.

Our Vision

The ultimate vision of the ACS NRTCC is a world without cervical cancer. To ensure the ACS NRTCC can have the greatest impact in response to nationally identified needs, we’ve prioritized 5 areas of focus intended to guide roundtable members and partners in in eliminating cervical cancer and reducing its harms. Advancing health equity to address cancer disparities is a core component to the work that we do to ensure that no one is disadvantaged in their fight against cervical cancer.
