What Every Woman Should Know About Cervical Cancer

This book (an updated and extended
edition) is about mobilizing women and health care policy makers and providers
to unite their efforts in a single strategy for fighting cervical cancer
worldwide. The objective of this strategy would be to reverse cervical cancer
prevalence and mortality rates among all 2.4 billion women at risk and to
achieve this goal within 10-15 years of implementation. Cervical Cancer
Screening (Pap test, VIA, VILI, or HPV) failed to stop cervical cancer
worldwide simply because many countries could not afford developing
infrastructure necessary to carry on the global strategy, and because the
outreach could not accomplish the targeted 51% of the population at risk. In
2015, there is still 600,000 women getting cervical cancer annually and 300,000
of them die. Every minute one woman gets cervical cancer and every 2 minutes
one woman dies from this preventable disease.


In 21st Century the
Information Technology (IT) Revolution has made substantial impact on medicine
enabling remote points-of care, scattered around the world, to be e-connected
with experts in distant medical centers and to obtain quality diagnosis and
proper guidelines for curative therapy of early stages of cervical cancer.  Low frequency of costly interventions needed
makes IT-based screening financially and socially beneficial for mass
screening.  

This new Mobile Health technology
with the Global Strategy for Fighting Cervical Cancer is subject to elaboration
in our book as the new hope when old efforts have failed to stop the world
“epidemics” of this grave but preventable disease. The language is adapted for
easy reading and understanding by professionals and lay-persons                    


This book is intended for women at
risk for cervical cancer, their health care providers, health insurance
companies, government responsible for making health policy and healthcare
industry because all of them have special role in the new Global Strategy
elaborated in details in this book.
