Female Cancer Foundation

Towards a world without cervical cancer

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

“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.”

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

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

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

 

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

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.

“On the basis of the See & Treat method: Easy, cheap and simply transmisseble.”
