“Female Cancer Foundation aims towards a world without cervical cancer”

1. Female Cancer Foundation
Towards a world without cervical cancer

2. “Every two minutes,
somewhere in the world a
woman dies because of
cervical cancer. A mom, a
sister, a friend.”

4. “Cervical cancer is the second most
preventive kind of feminine cancer,
after breast cancer.
Every year 500.000 women
worldwide are diagnosed with
cervical cancer.
More than 85% of these women live
in developing countries.”

6. “Cervical cancer is a poorness
related illness, and hence the
main cause of death for
women in developing
countries.”

8. “Most of these women play
a crucial role in their
family, community and
local economy.”

11. “In opposite to most kinds of
cancer, cervical cancer can be
prevented and easily treated.
With a simple and cheap
method.”

13. “Female Cancer Foundation
supports the struggle to survive
cervical cancer in developing
countries. By awareness, screening
and treatment, and also by training
and research.”

14. Female Cancer Foundation
has it’s origins in the Leids
Universitair Medisch
Centrum (LUMC). Prof.
gynecologist Peters founded
the Female Cancer
Foundation here in the early
eighties, coming from a
collaboration between
Gynecology, Immuno
Haematology, Pathology and
Epidemiology.

& Treat method: Easy,
cheap and simply
transmisseble.”
