New taskforce to help steer Commonwealth towards cervical cancer elimination

The Commonwealth Secretariat and the Union for International Cancer Control (UICC) have launched a new taskforce to step up efforts towards preventing and treating cervical cancer. The ‘International Taskforce on Cervical Cancer Elimination in the Commonwealth’ aims to encourage and facilitate cooperation between countries.

Major collaboration aims to eliminate cervical cancer in the Western Pacific

Share A landmark $8.1 million investment from the Minderoo Foundation will support researchers from The Kirby Institute at UNSW Sydney to co-lead a new cervical cancer elimination program in the Western Pacific. The initiative is co-led by the Cancer Council NSW, the Kirby Institute, VCS Foundation, and Family Planning NSW on behalf of the NHMRC Centre of Research Excellence in Cervical Cancer Control (C4), in close collaboration with in-country partners and stakeholders. The Western Pacific has among the highest rates of cervical cancer in the world, and there are an estimated 1200 deaths in Papua New Guinea (PNG) alone every year. Human papillomavirus, or HPV, causes almost all cervical cancers worldwide. HPV infection and disease can be prevented by childhood vaccination, whilst screening women for HPV infection in adult life is highly effective in detecting early disease and preventing cervical cancer.
