About Us
The ACS NRTCC is a coordinated effort that will accelerate the elimination of cervical cancer primarily by addressing health disparities. We engage key organizations to create the national roadmap for cervical cancer elimination. This roadmap addresses issues across the cancer continuum from prevention through survivorship. We aim to reduce barriers to care, eliminate disparities, reduce harms, and promote new technologies that reduce both morbidity and mortality of cervical cancer for everyone.
Our Leadership
The ACS NRTCC Leadership convenes national thought leaders, organizations, and industry partners to identify strategic goals and priorities of the Roundtable to lead the national dialogue on cervical cancer.
The ACS Roundtable Model
ACS roundtables are a recommended and proven model for creating multi-sector partnerships to tackle the most complex problems across the cancer continuum.
Commitment to Health Equity
Every person should have a fair and just opportunity to prevent, find, treat, and survive cervical cancer. Therefore, we commit to centering health equity in all that we do. We agree to work toward fairness and justice by systematically assessing disparities in opportunities, outcomes, and representation, and redressing [those] disparities through focused actions.
We Convene
We collaborate with partner organizations, offering various tools, resources, learning opportunities, and discussion platforms needed to ensure that everyone has the opportunity to prevent, detect, treat, and survive cancer.
About Cervical Cancer
